It’ll be LucasFilm’s first non-Star Wars production since 2015.
1988’s cult-classic fantasy film Willow is set to make a return – not to the bigscreen, nor as a feature-length sequel, but as a TV series streaming exclusively on Disney Plus. The pilot is set to be directed by Crazy Rich Asians’ John M. Chu, with Warwick Davis set to return in the title role of Willow Ufgood and original director Ron Howard signed on as executive producer. It will become LucasFilm’s second TV spin-off following the success of The Mandalorian, and the first non-Star Wars related project for the company in five years. “Growing up in the ’80s, ‘Willow’ has had a profound effect on me,” says Chu.
