The World of 'Willow' Explained: Everything You Need to Know Before the Disney+ Series

The fantasy genre is experiencing a new boom thanks to the success of streaming television shows like The Witcher, House of the Dragon, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Disney+ is officially entering the competition with a new series based on one of Lucasfilm’s earlier properties. The new series Willow picks up with a new generation of heroes in events that take place after the 1988 film of the same name.

After receiving a magic wand from the Fairy Queen Cherlindrea , Willow discovers the older sorcerer Fin Raziel . She teaches him the art of magic as he travels with Madmartigan. Sorsha ultimately decides to defy her mother as she falls in love with Madmartigan. The heroes all work together to defeat Bavmorda and restore the ancient great kingdom of Tir Asleen.

Willow is joined in his new adventure by Sorsha’s daughter Kit , the aspiring knight Jade , the kitchen maid Dove , the thief-turned-hero Boorman , and an unidentified character played by Tony Revolori. Considering that Willow is likely the last sorcerer in the Mother World, this band of heroes may have been dispatched by Sorsha to train in magic. In the trailer, Revolori’s character mentions that he used to pretend to be a sorcerer as a child, so perhaps he is Willow’s new initiate.
