The Acolyte star Amandla Stenberg revealed that she is “not surprised” that the Disney+ series set in the Star Wars universe was canceled after one season following the “vitriol, prejudice, hatred and fateful language” that the cast received from internet trolls since the series was announced and through its cancelation earlier this month. ...

“I’m going to be really transparent and say that it’s not a huge shock for me,” Stenberg told her fans of the show’s cancellation after one season. “Of course, I live in the bubble of my own reality, but for those who aren’t aware, there has been a rampage of vitriol that we have faced since the show was even announced — when it was still just a concept. No one had even seen it. That’s when we started experiencing a rampage of, I would say, hyper-conservative bigotry and vitriol, prejudice, hatred and hateful language toward us.”
