Disney+ Willow season 2 cancelled. Here's why

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 news broke two months after the release of the last episode of season 1 which had a total of 8 episodes. The production and final telecasting of Willow were done years after the release of the film but unfortunately, it couldn’t make a powerful impact. However, it got an 83 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes which means it was accepted by critics. Even after the discontinuation of the series, it can be reanalyzed in the future because it still is an important IP in Lucasfilm.

The decision seems to be taken at a time when Lucasfilm is more focused on releasing the next movie of the Star Wars franchise which has made them earn ample of praise from the audience. Another reason for cancellation might be increased scrutiny at the media companies (Disney also included), as they are preferring to stream profitable content.
