In a Q&A for “Willow” attended by Looper, Jonathan Kasdan was quick to point out that he’d love to see the show go on after its initial run of episodes. “We’d love to continue the story on,” Kasdan said. “Where it seems to be that the street leads from movies to TV, I hope that we’re headed toward a moment where the reverse direction can be done too.”
Though it’s not at all unprecedented for TV shows to make the jump to theaters, with obvious examples like “Star Trek” and “Downton Abbey,” Kasdan is right to point out that it seems like more and more film properties are shifting to the long-form storytelling that the television landscape offers.
The showrunner went on to relate that he had been out with David Benioff and D.B. Weiss of “Game of Thrones” and the duo had mentioned trying to do Season 7 of the series as a collection of movies. While Kasdan said that he found the idea intriguing, he was clear that he’d prefer another season of “Willow” before chasing such big dreams. “The first thing we’d like to do is another season because we’ve got a lot more that we’d like to tell here,” he concluded. Fans can expect the first episode of the new series to drop on Disney+ on November 30.
