With a little under a month to go before Willow premieres on Disney+, a new poster and 60-second sneak peek have been released by the streaming platform.
The series, based on George Lucas and Ron Howard's fantasy-adventure film, will begin streaming exclusively on Disney+ on November 30, and there's a tonne of excitement surrounding this long-overdue return to Andowyne. The original movie has become a beloved cult classic since it was released in 1988, and fans are keen to see what became of Warwick Davis' Willow Ufgood.
And yes, he does wield a flamethrower at one point here!
In Willow, the beloved Star Wars actor will be joined by Joanne Whalley (Sorsha), Ruby Cruz (Kit), Erin Kellyman (Jade), Ellie Bamber (Dove), Dempsey Bryk (Airk), Amar Chadha-Patel (Boorman) and Tony Revolori (Graydon). Christian Slater has also joined the cast in a mystery role, though Val Kilmer's Madmartigan sadly isn't expected back.
Set in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls and other mystical creatures flourish, Willow is the story of an unlikely group of heroes who set off on a dangerous quest, facing their inner demons and coming together to save their world.
Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Jonathan Kasdan, Tommy Harper, Wendy Mericle, Roopesh Parekh, Ron Howard, and Samie Kim Falvey serve as executive producers. The show's writers are John Bickerstaff, Hannah Friedman, and Jonathan Kasdan, while the producers are Stephen Woolfenden, Julia Cooperman, Hameed Shaukat, and Max Taylor.
An epic period fantasy told with a modern sensibility and plenty of humour, heart, energy and vibrancy, Willow begins streaming on Disney+ on November 30. We've seen the first three episodes and will be sharing our reaction a couple of weeks from now.
