A while back, we
ran down all the upcoming fantasy TV series that would be vying to fill the huge shoes left by
Game of Thrones. While there's a number of worthy candidates, the
Willow sequel series at Disney+ garnered a lot of interest. There's just one problem: it's not officially greenlit!
Speaking to Collider, Ron Howard shared some new details about the project.
"
We are developing Willow for Disney Plus. And I don’t know about directing or not, but Jon Kasdan is writing, he’s very passionate about it, great job. We don’t have a green light yet, but if it goes, I’ll certainly want to roll up my sleeves and be a part of that, because that would be great, to revisit that world."
Howard also confirmed that Warrick Davis would be returning and that the sequel is set a few decades after the original.
Willow was released in 1988 and was directed by Ron Howard from a script written by Bob Dolman and George Lucas (story).
Willow, a small farmer/apprentice magician, meets Madmartigan, a great swordsman, and together they journey through a war-torn land of magic and monsters, to save a baby princess from death at the hands of an evil queen.
