The upcoming Willow sequel series has seen some big changes in recent weeks. Earlier this month it was announced that director Jon M. Chu had departed the project due to unforeseen scheduling issues stemming from various production delays caused by the pandemic. Then, earlier this week, it was announced that Jonathan Entwistle, best known for directing Netflix’s The End of the F***ing World and I Am Not Okay With This, had signed on to direct the pilot and serve as an executive producer. Now, bot Entwistle and series writer Jonathan Kasdan are weighing in to share their excitement.

You have any idea how hard it was to find another Jonathan we’re just as excited to be working with as the last one? In 10 days? So fortunate to continue the adventure with this brilliant Daikini at the helm, but I keep telling him- the last she needs is a hairy chest! https://t.co/x98GO9Fygd
