Ron Howard Reveals Timeline for ‘Willow’ Series Coming to Disney+

Ron Howard Reveals Timeline for ‘Willow’ Series Coming to Disney+. Recently, Director Ron Howard sat down with Collider and gave an update on the reboot series for Willow, coming to Disney’s new streaming service Disney+. Though Howard is unsure if he will be directing the series, he has been in constant contact with the series writer, Jon Kasdan, and gave fans some insight to how the series is forming and when the new stories will take place.

“We are developing Willow for Disney Plus,” Howard said. “And I don’t know about directing or not, but Jon Kasdan is writing, he’s very passionate about it, great job. We don’t have a green light yet, but if it goes, I’ll certainly want to roll up my sleeves and be a part of that, because that would be great, to revisit that world.”

Collider went on to ask if studios are more interested in a show runners take on how a new series or film should be presented or if they approach the production team with an idea and let them build from there. Howard responded with, “…in this world of these event series, they really do look to the showrunners and the key creatives to tell them their vision. It’s one of the reasons why TV has gotten so good, is that they really are looking at the showrunners as authors of something that they’re deeply passionate about. And Jon is deeply passionate about Willow, which tickles me to no end.”

Though Ron could not share TOO many details regarding the show he did confirm Warwick Davis will be reprising his role and subsequently the new story will be taking place “decades later”.

“Warwick Davis is going to be in it and so yes, I think it’s safe to say it’s decades later,” he said.

Many fans have been speculating that the series would take place after Elora Danan had grown up and would fulfill her prophecy by dethroning Queen Bavmorda, and it appears that there is a high possibility for this story to unfold in the new Disney+ series.
