Ron Howard Says Scripts Are Being Developed for WILLOW Sequel Series and Locations Are Being Scouted

We’ve got some good news regarding the hopefully upcoming sequel series to the classic 1988 adventure film Willow. According to the film’s director, Ron Howard, who is on board to return to the series, the show’s script and shooting locations are being worked on and considered. The series hasn’t gotten the green light yet, but with Howard on board, as well as the film’s star, Warwick Davis, and widespread fan support, I think this is a no-brainer, and just a matter of time.

Howard was asked about what he could say about the series at the Edinburgh International Film Festival that took place virtually this week, and he said:

“Well, if I say anything too concrete it's gonna go viral because anytime I say anything about Willow, people take it all very seriously. I will say that, let's see ... what can I say? It's still in development. It doesn't have a green light. Warwick Davis is thrilled by it and if we are lucky enough for it to go, he could come back as Willow."

“We are far enough along that, in a very tentative way, locations are beginning to be scouted, and we don't know where we're going to shoot, but we have gotten some research photos back from Wales. It's nice to think about where our old knock bar was, and, again, no idea if we're gonna get to make the show but we're having a wonderful time developing the scripts under Jonathan Kasdan, who is leading the charge."

Kasdan, who wrote and directed Jumanji: The Next Level, is writing the scripts for the series. So there’s a lot of talent involved, and a lot of passion in the project. I’m sure it’s a matter of time before we hear the show has been picked up, and I can’t wait for that day! My whole family looks forward to it.

Are you hopeful for the follow up Willow project?
