Warwick Davis Introduces Us To The Cast of Disney+'s WILLOW Sequel Series

During Disney’s big Disney+ Day event, a video was shared for the highly anticipated Willow sequel series. That video features Warwick Davis, who is reprising his role as Willow, introducing us to the supporting cast of the series.

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. 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."

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), and Dempsey Bryk (The Birch) also appear in the series. It’s said that 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."

Also part of the group is a guy who is said to echo Val Kilmer’s character in the movie. A thief and liar, he joins the quest in exchange for getting out of prison. That character will be played by Bryk.

Filming for the series takes place in remote areas of Wales, where the original film was also shot. Enjoy the video below!
