The series is set 20 years after the events of the film and follows the storyline of Willow and the baby, Elora Danan.

Fans of George Lucas's 1988 fantasy adventure 'Willow' have been asking for a sequel for more than 30 years., debuting Wednesday on Disney+.

"We really wanted to follow that story and then shift Willow into a role of being the sort of crotchety old mentor who's got to tell her where she's going and how to do it," says Jon Kasdan, writer and executive producer."We were quite nervous about it. He was just constantly cracking jokes to chill everybody out," says Erin Kellyman, who plays "Jade."Cast members say they wanted fans to be proud of this new adventure.
