Live-Action ‘Star Wars’ Series is Coming Soon

Date:

Jon Favreau will write and executive produce a live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s upcoming streaming platform.

“I couldn’t be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform,” said Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “Jon brings the perfect mix of producing and writing talent, combined with a fluency in the ‘Star Wars’ universe. This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base.”

“If you told me at 11 years old that I would be getting to tell stories in the ‘Star Wars’ universe, I wouldn’t have believed you,” Favreau added. “I can’t wait to embark upon this exciting adventure.”

Favreau has a long history with Disney. The Swingers star helped launch the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the release of Iron Man and Iron Man 2. He is also an executive producer of the Iron Man and Avengers films for Marvel. He also directed and produced The Jungle Book for Disney and is currently working on the upcoming reboot of Lion King.
