The series was only announced in May 2020, and is still in development right now. With Andor premiering some time in 2022, we're expecting to see The Acolyte after that - so either late 2022, or more likely some time in 2023. (Source: techadvisor.com)

Vernestra Rwoh is coming to live action in upcoming Disney Plus series The Acolyte. At Star Wars Celebration, it was confirmed that she will be played by Rebecca Henderson during the High Republic panel.
Rwoh is a Mirialan Jedi Knight from the High Republic era and a fan-favorite from her appearances in books and comics.
At the panel, showrunner Leslye Headland explained Rwoh will be a good representation of where the Jedi are going between the High Republic and the Prequel Trilogy. She also teased that she's at a crossroads, and will go from the idealism of the Jedi in the High Republic books to the more restrictive dogma of the Prequel Trilogy over the course of this series.

The Acolyte, Disney+'s upcoming Sith-focused Star Wars show set during the High Republic era, is aiming for 2024 debut, according to The Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger.
"Just last night, I got a clip of a Star Wars series that's going to air on Disney+ in 2024 called The Acolyte, that looks brilliant," Iger said.

On the same day it became public that Star Wars projects from Kevin Feige and Patty Jenkins are now dormant, Lucasfilm has been hit with a breach of contract lawsuit over the upcoming The Acolyte.

The synopsis comes via Lucasfilm and confirms that The Acolyte is a mystery-thriller as previously reported. It establishes that the show's narrative revolves around "a former Padawan [who] reunites with her Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes," uncovering a far greater threat in the process. The synopsis also supplies additional information about The Acolyte's setting, confirming that it takes place during "the final days" of the High Republic era, as "dark side powers" return to once again threaten the galaxy.

Lee has landed the male lead in the new Disney+ Star Wars series The Acolyte from Lucasfilm. Amandla Steinberg is set for the other lead role with Deadline also recently breaking news that Jodi Smith-Turner will also be joining the cast. Leslye Headland is tapped as the series director, writer, exec producer and showrunner. (source: Deadline.com)
While details surrounding Stenberg's role are currently unknown, we know that The Acolyte will be a martial arts-influenced mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era. The series is being showrun by Russian Doll and Sleeping With Other People alum Leslye Headland. (Source: Comicbook. com)
We know that The Acolyte will be set in the time period of the new Star Wars: The High Republic line, which is set 200 years before the Skywalker Saga begins. However, at the same time, it's been indicated that The Acolyte will mark the end of The High Republic era, making it a potentially pivotal chapter of the Star Wars franchise. The Acolyte's working title will reportedly be "Paradox," and it's a title that will certainly get Star Wars chat threads going with theories about what kind of inside joke (or big secret) that title is implying. The main character in the series will reportedly be named "Aura," although it's obviously not yet official, and could conceivably be code for a different character name entirely.
