Amazing First Teaser Trailer For The WILLOW Sequel Series
During the big Lucasfilm presentation at Star Wars Celebration, the first teaser trailer was revealed for the highly-anticipated Willow sequel series and it looks better than I could have imagined. This series looks beautiful and awesome and I can’t wait to see it! This trailer made me so happy. This show is going to take fans on and amazong journey, and I’m ready to join in on the adventure!
The series takes place years after the events of the original Willow film. "It introduces all-new characters to the enchanted realm of fairy queens and two-headed Eborsisk monsters, and welcomes back its namesake hero, Willow Ufgood, performed once again by the unmatchable Warwick Davis."
The series also stars Erin Kellyman (Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier), Ellie Bamber (Nocturnal Animals), Ruby Cruz (Mare of Easttown), Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Dempsey Bryk (The Birch), Talisa Garcia (Serve and Protect, Baptiste), and Game Of Thrones actress Rosabell Laurenti Sellers
The story revolves around a group on a mission to save a kidnapped prince. The members of this group include "Dove (Bamber), whose backstory resembles that of Willow from the movie. Dove is an unassuming kitchen maid who proves she is the "chosen one" as she embarks on the journey. She is joined by Kit, the princess whose twin brother was abducted. She is destined to be a leader and, ultimately, the queen. Kellyman plays Jade, a servant who is Kit’s best friend and moral compass. She is on her way to becoming the best young warrior in the kingdom." Sellers is said to play a resourceful character with sharp, acerbic wit.
The group also includes a character who is said to echo Val Kilmer’s character in the movie. He’s described a a thief and liar, and joins the quest in exchange for getting out of prison. That character will be played by Bryk.
Jonathan Kasdan (Solo) wrote the pilot episode and will act as showrunner alongside Wendy Mericle (Arrow). The epic fantasy adventure is set in an age of swords, sorcery, myths, and monsters.
