WILLOW Has NOT Been Cancelled According To Showrunner Jon Kasdan

Though there are no immediate plans for a second season, Willow showrunner Jon Kasdan has now refuted reports that the Disney+ series has been cancelled. Check out his statement...

Earlier this week, Deadline reported that Disney+'s Willow, a sequel series to Ron Howard and George Lucas’s 1988 fantasy adventure film, had been cancelled after just one season on the streaming service.

However, creator/showrunner Jon Kasdan has now clarified what's actually happening with the show, and it sounds like we may still see "Volume II" at some point.

In a lengthy Twitter statement, Kasdan refuted the original cancellation report, but admits that the series is on hold for the time being to allow the cast to pursue other opportunities.

“A decision was made last week to release our main cast for other series opportunities that may arise for them in the coming year,” he writes. “With all the TV and movies in production around the world, it feels unfair to limit an actor’s availability without a clear sense of when you’re going to need them again. It’s further triviliased by the simple reality that the scripts we’ve been working on require just as many actors with whom no such contractual hold exists."

"But here’s what’s equally true: with the enthusiastic and unwavering support of Lucasfilm, and Disney, we’ve developed and written what we hope is a brain-meltingly fun, richer, darker and better VOLUME II, which builds on the characters and story of our first eight chapters (The Wyrm survives!)”

There's a lot more to the three-part thread (see below), but the gist of it is, there's a good chance Willow will return down the line... though we might be waiting quite a while for more episodes.
