They are reported durations, not episode-by-episode runtimes confirmed by Disney or Lucasfilm in the sources reviewed. One Apple TV regional listing gives episode 4 as 33 minutes, so catalog displays may differ.
Reported runtimes for episodes 1–4
| Episode | Bespin Bulletin reported runtime | Apple TV cross-check |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 41 minutes | Apple TV Saudi Arabia lists 41 minutes. |
| 2 | 36 minutes | No matching regional listing was established. |
| 3 | 42 minutes | No matching regional listing was established. |
| 4 | 32 minutes | Apple TV Guadeloupe lists 33 minutes. |
Bespin Bulletin published its runtime report on May 31, 2024. The Apple TV listings provide a regional cross-check, not a studio confirmation. The available sources do not establish why the episode 4 figures differ; regional catalog variation, rounding or the treatment of credits are possibilities, but none is verified.

Why the reported lengths differ from an earlier expectation
Before the series premiered, a March 19, 2024 ComicBook.com interview report said showrunner Leslye Headland expected episodes to run 30–35 minutes. That was a pre-release expectation, not a final episode-by-episode runtime list; the later Bespin Bulletin report gives longer durations for episodes 1 and 3.
Release context and what is not established
The Acolyte premiered on Disney+ on June 4, 2024, with its first two episodes. StarWars.com’s June 5 article confirmed the premiere and weekly release cadence. The runtime sources cited here cover episodes 1–4; they do not establish official durations for all eight episodes, so runtimes for episodes 5–8 should not be inferred from these figures.
