It's a good day to be a Star Wars fan.

Another Cast Added to 'Star Wars: The Acolyte'

Amandla Stenberg ("Bodies, Bodies, Bodies") will be joined by an actress from "Queen & Slim" and "White Noise" in the upcoming live-action Star Wars series from Lucasfilm.

As first reported by Deadline Hollywood, Turner-Smith's role is still being kept under wraps.

What Movies Has Turner-Smith Appeared In

The actress recently made an appearance in the science fiction movie "After Yang", and other series including "The Last Ship," "Jett," and "Nightflyers."

She's also slated to appear in the upcoming movies "White Noise" and "Murder Mystery 2," according to a news story by Comicbook.

What Can You Expect in 'Star Wars: The Acolyte'

According to the official Star Wars timeline, this show takes place before the Fall of the Jedi era. "Star Wars: The Acolyte" will take viewers to the last days of the High Republic era in a world filled with dark secrets and burgeoning Dark Side forces.

Per Comicbook, the events of "Star Wars: The Acolyte" transpire some 100 years prior to "Episode I: The Phantom Menace"

Gizmodo, on the other hand, reported that later this year, filming for the Star Wars series will begin in London.

Eight episodes of the Star Wars series with a female lead will only be accessible on Disney+.
