We already knew The Acolyte was scheduled to start filming this May. However, every recent Star Wars project has been delayed for either a short period to an indefinite period. Breaking in tradition we can confirm The Acolyte will begin shooting in Pinewood at the beginning of May. Previously LRM had covered rumors that The Acolyte was scheduled to begin shooting in February, but that actually became untrue. It was confirmed through Production Weekly earlier this year that the show wouldn’t begin shooting till May. Some had thought that The Acolyte would be shooting in LA but Ahsoka is scheduled to begin filming in the LA studio.
Pinewood has been busy over the past two years with scenes from Kenobi, Andor, and an unnamed Star Wars project.

There has been very little share about the upcoming show except that Leslie Headland is the head writer Production Weekly has shared a brief synopsis of the show.

The Star Wars series is a female driven action mystery thriller with martial arts elements that will take us into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging Dark Side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.
It also says, (Amanda Stenberg mentioned for the role of Aura), which was likely taken from the Deadline report saying Stenberg was in advanced talks for the role. We covered that story Here.
With production beginning in May it would be safe to assume that filming will go through October to the beginning of November. That would put the show to premiere sometime in the spring to summer of 2023.
