　　No details have been revealed about their characters so far, and we know nothing about the plot of the show, other than the fact it's a sequel set many years after the movie. However, it's been confirmed that Warwick Davis will reprise his role as the movie's heroic main character, Willow Ufgood.

　　The showrunners for the Willow series will be Jonathan Kasdan, who co-wrote Solo, and Wendy Mericle, who was co-showrunner on The CW's Arrow. Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu will helm the pilot.

　　The movie also starred Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley, and focused on a quest to save a baby from an evil queen. It grossed $137.6 million worldwide from a reported $35 million budget. Discussions of a potential follow-up go back as far as 2005, when Lucas expressed an interest in making a Willow show. In 2018, Howard stated that there had been discussions about making a sequel.
