I absolutely LOVE Willow with Warwick Davis, Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley, and Jean Marsh and there is soon going to be a sequel TV series in the works!

*The enchanting world of “Willow,” created by George Lucas, is officially coming to the small screen.

Disney Plus has confirmed a sequel series taking place years after the events of the original Ron Howard-directed pic is heading into production next year. Howard is returning to the project as executive producer alongside original star Warwick Davis, who will once again play the titular hero Willow Ufgood.

“Willow” the series hails from Lucasfilm and represents the company’s first non-“Star Wars” venture since 2015. The show will introduce all-new characters to the magical realm of fairy queens and two-headed Eborsisk monsters. News of the official greenlight from Disney Plus comes over a year after the project was first reported as coming down the pipeline.*

I'm really looking forward to this, Willow has always been a favorite of mine!!

Hopefully, the show will be amazing!! And although very unlikely, it'd be great if it led to some cool action figures!! I had the toys that were released originally but those were basically miniatures. I'd flip over a MOTUC style Willow, Madmartigan, Sorsha and General Kael!!

One of my all time favorite movies. Ron Howard is also one of my favorite directors so I can’t wait for this. . I feel so bad for Val Kilmer, he’s not looking so great after his health issues

Yeah, he's really gone down the tubes. Looks awful.

I still think Val Kilmer is wonderful as an actor and a singer. We have a special connection, Val and I. He liked an article I wrote about him and his wonderful performance in Ten Commandments: The Musical and I got a friend of mine to put Val's Christmas song Christmas Is Calling on the radio. Val sent me a free copy of his album Music Sessions With Mick Rossi as a thankyou present.

Is the series going to be based on the novels from the 90s, or is Disney going a new route with this? Because Sorsha and Madmartigan don't fare very well in the books.

I would imagine Disney will pull the same crap it did with Star Wars, if George Lucas had anything to do with it, it's time to mess it all up. But you're right, the sequel trilogy of books by Lucas and Chris Claremont did not treat those two well, almost like Game of Thrones before GoT LOL

I love Willow!!!!! Now I get to watch Disney ruin it like every other one of my beloved childhood franchisees.

Disney won't ruin anything, I think it will be amazing!
