Everything You Need To Know About Lucasfilm’s Willow Series on Disney+

Disney and Lucasfilm™ recently shared an update about their brand new series Willow. The announcement came during Disney’s Investor Day, along with many other Lucasfilm projects like Ahsoka™, The Acolyte, A Droid Story, Lando™, and more!

While very little has been revealed about the series at this time, it has been made clear that the show will continue the story from the film of the same name. In the original film, viewers followed the story of Willow Ufgood, a Nelwyn dwarf and aspiring sorcerer, as he delivered the infant Elora Danan to safety. At the end of the film, after feats of love and bravery, he was gifted a powerful spellbook. Who knows what magic will happen next?
