Headland, who is best known for her work on the Netflix series Russian Doll, has said that she is excited to bring a new perspective to the Star Wars universe. "I've always been fascinated by the dark side of the Force, and I think this is a great opportunity to explore it in a way that we haven't seen before," she said.

No casting announcements have been made yet, but Headland has said that she is looking for a diverse cast of actors to bring the characters to life. "I want to make sure that everyone can see themselves in this show," she said. "The Star Wars universe is for everyone, and I want to make sure that The Acolyte reflects that." The Acolyte is sure to be a must-see for Star Wars fans, and it is sure to give viewers a new perspective on the galaxy far, far away.
