The story of Willow Ufgood began in 1988 in the fantasy film Willow, directed by Ron Howard. Willow began as a farmer and was tasked with protecting a baby who was the subject of a prophecy. When Disney picked up the title to develop as a television series, Howard returned as an executive producer. The man did not take on the director cap this season, but in an interview with Entertainment Weekly he expressed an interest in directing at least one episode next season:
“I was a little disappointed not to have time this time. It would be a function of looking at the calendar.”
Timing is everything, and careful planning is needed for this to happen.
Howard had a hand in the development of the show though, stating that he had “offered up notes, criticisms, and ideas.” He also participated in “discussions about where the season would go and how the episodes would unfold.”
He further commented on what is to come:
“I wouldn’t want to make any promises as I’ve already got a few things that I’m dreaming of doing. But if we’re fortunate enough to be able to carry on with the show, I am going be as involved as I can be, as I was this season, because it means a lot to me.”
The source film and the entire first season of Willow are streaming now on Disney+! While the first season ended on a cliffhanger, there is no green light for a second season as of right now. A behind-the-scenes, “making of” special for the first season will be released on the platform as well on January 25, 2023.
