THR is reporting that Lucasfilm have found a replacement director for the Willow series, following the departure of Jon M. Chu for family reasons.

Jonathan Entwistle, best known for The End of the F***ing World, will now helm the pilot and become an executive producer for the series alongside Jonathan Kasdan and Wendy Mericle.

“With its epic world of swords, sorcery and adventure, Willow captivated and influenced so many,” said Entwistle in a statement. “I’m excited to be going on this journey and working with Jon and Wendy to create something that is both deeply rooted in that original film and also a fresh, funny and charming addition to the beloved story. To be able to play within the world so painstakingly crafted by Ron back in ’88 is a dream come true for me.”

The show is set to start filming shortly in Wales.
