Solo: A Star Wars Story co-writer Jon Kasdan has revealed that production on the Willow sequel series for Disney Plus is underway.
Since Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm, the studio has mostly been developing Star Wars projects. It’s easy to forget that Lucasfilm has the rights to other properties like as Indiana Jones and Willow. An Indiana Jones sequel has been in development for sometime. Solo co-writer Jon Kasdan even took a crack at the next Indiana Jones film, but he has now moved onto another Lucasfilm property. Back in May, it was revealed that Jon Kasdan pitched a sequel Willow series for Disney Plus.
Not much is known regarding the upcoming Willow Disney plus series other than Solo‘s Ron Howard possibly returning to direct. It now looks like the Willow Disney Plus series is moving forward based on a recent tweet from Jon Kasdan. All the tweet says is, “The office is open” with an image of a Willow hat on a bulletin board. You can see Jon Kasdan’s tweet below.
