Bad news for Indiana Jones fans. The television series that Disney+ planned has been finely canceled by the studio.
Disney+ has canceled the Indiana Jones series. Lucasfilm reportedly canceled the Harrison Ford franchise TV series on studio orders. It will not see the light of day on the streaming platform.
RUMOR: The Ravenwood/Indiana Jones series at Lucasfilm is not moving forward, and furthermore, I’ve heard that Disney has told Lucasfilm to focus on STAR WARS going forward, hence the cancellation of WILLOW.
According to Jeff Sneider, a journalist for Above the Line and The Hot Mic, Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones series is no longer going ahead on Disney+. What’s more, Jeff Sneider has received word that the studio has told Lucasfilm to focus on its Star Wars projects for now. This would not only explain the suppression of the action-adventure franchise series, but also the supposed “cancellation” of Lucasfilm’s Willow series on the streaming platform after just one season.
Lucasfilm’s problems inside the House of Mouse
In November 2022, the news broke that the House of Mouse and Lucasfilm were developing a new Indiana Jones series for Disney+. Although no further details were given at the time. Indy already made the leap from the big screen to the small screen through the 1990s show The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, which ran for two seasons on ABC and four made-for-TV movies on The Family Channel. Although the planned Disney+ series has been scrapped, the fifth film in the Dial of Fate franchise will be released in theaters on June 30 of this year.
Lucasfilm
As for Willow, the fantasy series premiered on Disney+ in November 2022. It is a direct sequel to the 1988 film of the same name. Earlier this month, it was reported that the series had been canceled after only one season on the platform. However, Willow showrunner Jonathan Kasdan was quick to clarify the situation. Kasdan claimed that the series had not been canceled outright, but was simply going on an indefinite hiatus. “I’m pretty sure if you asked me, neither I nor the Lucasfilm folks would have called it a cancellation,” Kasdan wrote.
