The Acolyte Star Manny Jacinto Teases His Hopes for Season 2

As a huge fan of Star Wars and The Acolyte, I was absolutely thrilled to hear Manny Jacinto‘s recent comments about the potential for a second season of this groundbreaking series. Jacinto’s portrayal of Qimir, the Sith master, has left fans wondering about the mysterious relationship between him and Amandla Stenberg’s character Osha. The fan art depicting their possible connection has sparked excitement among viewers, and Jacinto himself seems to be open to exploring this intriguing dynamic further.

Manny Jacinto, who plays the enigmatic character Qimir in “The Acolyte,” has expressed his desire for a second season during an interview with GQ. Jacinto was receptive to fan ideas and hinted at a potential romantic connection between his character and Amandla Stenberg’s Osha. The actor mentioned discovering fan-made artwork depicting “something” intriguing between the two characters, which he would be excited to develop further if given another chance in the series. In “Star Wars: The Acolyte,” Jacinto’s role as Qimir was shrouded in mystery, ultimately unveiled as a Sith master.

In the fan art that I’ve come across, there is a noticeable theme suggesting a connection between Osha and the Stranger. This idea seems to resonate with many fans of this genre or IP, as they have been eagerly anticipating such developments. I’m thrilled to see this trend gaining traction, so we might be in for more of it in the future. If there is demand for it, we could delve deeper into that relationship in future seasons.

In addition to sharing ideas about what may transpire in season 2 of “The Acolyte” (should the series be renewed), the performer expressed admiration towards creator and executive producer Leslye Headland. He acknowledged that she provided him with a unique opportunity as an actor – allowing him to truly embrace his authentic self on set.

In Madeira during episode six, Leslye entered my tent finding me restless. She expressed, “Manny, I simply mean I want the real you.” I asked for clarification, and she replied, “I yearn for you to set aside any acting techniques – the smirks, twitches, or pretenses – and just be yourself in this instant.”

I was taken aback when I finally managed to pull off that feat in the game, something I had never accomplished before. The feeling of freedom that came with it was indescribable, as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, allowing me to truly be myself for the first time.

What Might Happen in The Acolyte Season 2?

Although a second installment of “The Acolyte” has not been announced, the initial season provides intriguing hints and hidden messages about what may transpire in the future. Amidst the controversy surrounding recent “Star Wars” productions due to negative reviews, supporters of “The Acolyte” have flooded social media with demands for Disney to #RenewTheAcolyte. They laud the show’s diverse cast, integration of Star Wars history, and intricate world-building, all of which leave fans yearning for more. The captivating portrayals by Amandla Stenberg and Manny Jacinto have left audiences eager to delve deeper into the High Republic era as the story continues to unfold.

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that Leslye Headland’s new creation, “The Acolyte,” boasts an impressive ensemble cast. I’m personally looking forward to seeing Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Charlie Barnett, Dafne Keen, Rebecca Henderson, Jodie Turner-Smith, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Manny Jacinto in action.
