EXCLUSIVE: There will be no second season of Willow, Disney+'s live-action original series based on the 1988 fantasy film directed by Ron Howard.

It has been more than twenty years since Queen Bavmorda was defeated. Six unlikely heroes set off on a dangerous quest to places far beyond their home, where they must face their inner demons and come together to save their world from the forces of evil: the Gales, who work for the Crone and are allies of the Wyrm.

Disney canceled the television series after only one eight-episode season, and then it pulled the show off of Disney+ entirely for cost-cutting measures.

The show's tone felt directed at a teenage demographic that doesn't exist—but fits squarely outside the demographic most interested in this kind of fantasy: Kids and their parents. There's a way to craft a story that appeals to younger kids and their parents and the blueprint is the Willow film.

Kasdan noted some legitimate business realities of the Hollywood industry that were factors in the decision making. The first involved contracts. "A decision was made last week to release our main cast for other series opportunities that may arise for them in the coming year," Kasdan explained.

Willow was removed from Disney+ earlier this year as part of a cost-cutting measure that saw dozens of shows exit the service, as well as Hulu, on May 26.

Season 7. The seventh season starts with Willow in England, unnerved by her power, studying with a coven near Giles' home to harness it. She fears returning to Sunnydale and what she is capable of doing if she loses control again, a fear that dogs her the whole season.

Yep, the end credits of Willow Season 1 reveal that what we've been watching is just the first chapter in a three volume trilogy. The Crone might be defeated, but her master, the Wyrm is still plotting his revenge.

Disney+'s live-action original series 'Willow' will not come up with another season. The series was based on a fantasy film of 1988 directed by Ron Howard, according to reports.

The Gist: Disney Plus removed Willow and a bunch of other titles from its streaming lineup this year to save money on paying residuals, taxes, and licensing fees. When these shows are removed, it's often like they never existed at all because they become almost impossible to find.

The show was meant to be a sequel to the 1988 film “Willow,” starring Warwick Davis, but now it's just gone. It seems that Disney may have pulled it over the cost of the series and the lack of viewership. The show cost $156.8 million, which is about $19.6 million per episode!
