The WILLOW TV Series Will Be On Disney+ November 30

 Disney+ finally shared the details of its Willow revival. The streamer has revealed that the TV series will premiere November 30, but little else.

The new teaser trailer doesn’t show much either, but it does show an older Willow Ufgood returning to save a future empress from the clutches of evil.

Willow joins a band of adventurers to do the job, but this time he’s clearly more experienced than in the 1988 movie. Here is the plot of that film from WIKIPEDIA:

“To prevent the fulfillment of a prophecy that a child with a special rune birthmark will bring about her downfall, the evil sorceress Queen Bavmorda of Nockmaar imprisons all pregnant women in her domain. The foretold child is born, but her mother persuades the midwife to smuggle the baby out of the castle. Bavmorda executes the mother and sends her wolf-like Nockmaar hounds after the midwife. The midwife sets the baby adrift on a grass raft before she is killed by the dogs, and Bavmorda sends her daughter Sorsha and an army, led by General Kael, to hunt down the baby.

Some distance downriver, a village of Nelwyn prepares for a festival. The baby is found by the children of farmer and aspiring sorcerer Willow Ufgood, and his family takes her in and comes to love her.”

Yes, the show has Warwick Davis returning to his role as Willow!
And if you haven’t seen the original film, you have some catching up to do!
