Lee Jung-jae Lands Male Lead Role in The Acolyte

Television

According to Deadline, Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae has found his next significant role, this time in Disney+ Star Wars series The Acolyte. Leslye Headland’s High Republic-set series already has Amandla Stenberg and Jodie Turner-Smith among its cast. Jung-jae will star along with Stenberg as the show’s leads. 

We don’t know much about this show so far, and I haven’t seen Squid Game, so I’m not familiar with Lee Jung-jae. But I actually find myself encouraged by the fact that we know so little about the series; it’s refreshing. I look forward to it.
