The Acolyte Release Date & Trailer Date for Star Wars Disney+ Series Set With New Poster

Disney has set The Acolyte release date with a new poster for the Star Wars series, as well as the release date for the new trailer.

The poster, which was revealed on Twitter, features a rustic lightsaber handle with what appears to be a bloody streak above it in a style that makes it look like a red Sith lightsaber blade. The words, “In an age of light, a darkness rises” are present, looking as though they’ve been carved in stone.

The post reveals that The Acolyte will release on Disney+ on Tuesday, June 4 — approximately two-and-a-half months from now. The tweet also states that a trailer for the series is arriving tomorrow on March 19.

You can take a look at the new The Acolyte poster below:

The Acolyte is described as a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers that will be set within the final days of the High Republic era. In addition to The Acolyte, Lucasfilm is also working on other Star Wars projects, including shows like Skeleton Crew, Andor Season 2 and Ahsoka Season 2
