The Disney+ series Willow premiered late last year, and there were a few bits in the finale that made fans suspicious about the future of the show.
Many people involved in the series have mentioned plans for a second season, but Deadline reported that the series has been officially canceled by Disney+ and Lucasfilm. The news comes two months after the show’s first season ended, and less than a week after Lucasfilm revealed that they are “very careful” with their Star Wars plans .
Well, there was always hope and a plan for more seasons. There are certainly more stories to tell, but there is nothing specific I can comment on right now. From a creative point of view, everyone is full of energy. Everyone loved working on Willow.
Ron Howard told The Hollywood Reporter
It’s a strange and unpredictable time here in Hollywood. You can see that across the industry – there are shows that were on track to move forward that they didn’t, and there are shows that never expected to be in a second season that are – so you never know where you’ll be and you never know when the world will end. Let me tell you, these things last a very long time. We definitely want to keep telling these stories, but we don’t know what the future holds for us.
