Speaking with Games Radar, The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland delved into the tone of the series, giving some detail on what we can expect from a show diving into a brand new era with new situations, fresh characters and an eager fanbase to play to.

“The Acolyte is a mystery. It’s similar to Russian Doll, which was really about giving the audience information episode by episode, this spiral of storytelling,”
“This is a much larger landscape, but it similarly tackles the idea of ‘your eyes can deceive you’. You’re going to think the show is one thing, but then it’s going to gearshift into something else, and then do it again.”
“It’s a show packed with everything I wanted to explore: I wanted EU stuff in there, references to the original trilogy, The Phantom Menace, the Disney sequels… it’s absolutely packed. Because you never know, you may not get the chance again.”
We’re prepping for the return of Making Tracks Reaction Chat to discuss the show each and every week as well as The Guide, where Sander will reveal what easter eggs are present in each episode.
