Variety is reporting that Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm are developing a new Indiana Jones television show for Disney+.
It's still very early, so no further details were provided, but both studios have been trying to bring the movie franchise to the small screen for several months now, and have already started meeting with writers.
No word on whether the potential series could be a prequel or a spin-off - or if it will potentially tie into James Mangold's upcoming Indiana Jones 5 - but one thing we can probably safely assume is that Harrison Ford is unlikely to reprise his iconic role as the titular archaeologist since he's already stated that he will retire the character after the upcoming fifth installment.
In addition to this series, the studios are already exploring other avenues to continue the franchise without their leading man, including additional series, new films and other media.
In addition to Ford, the supporting cast of Indiana Jones 5 will consist of Golden Globe-winner Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Solo: A Star Wars Story; Fleabag), BAFTA Film Award-nominee Mads Mikkelsen (Doctor Strange; Hannibal), Thomas Kretschmann (Avengers: Age of Ultron; Penny Dreadful: City of Angels), Boyd Holbrook (Logan; The Predator), Shaunette Renée Wilson (Black Panther; The Resident), Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger; What If...?), Antonio Banderas (Uncharted; Puss in Boots: The Last Wish), and Oliver Richters (Black Widow; The King's Man).
2x Academy Award-nominee James Mangold (Logan; Ford v Ferrari) helmed the upcoming fifth chapter, taking the reins from 3x Academy Award-winner Steven Spielberg (Jurassic Park; Ready Player One), who directed the previous four installments.
Jonathan Kasdan (Solo: A Star Wars Story; The First Time) - the son of Raiders of the Lost Ark writer Lawrence Kasdan - recently touched up the script after original screenwriter David Koepp (Jurassic Park; Spider-Man) exited the project.
Spielberg will executive produce with Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall, and Simon Emanuel serving as producers.
Indiana Jones 5 is set to hit theaters on June 30, 2023.
