A Star Wars TV series maybe coming soon.
During Thursday’s Television Critics Association, ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey confirmed a rumor that the network has been talking to Lucasfilm about a possible Star Wars TV series. “As a fan, I would absolutely love to say yes,” Dungey said in response to a question about a possible Star Wars series, according to Variety. “We have had conversations, and we will continue to have conversations with Lucasfilm. It would be wonderful to extend the franchise.”
Dungey didn’t reveal too many details about the new TV show, including whether it would be a live-action series or a spinoff Star Wars series. Dungey explained, “It’s all a little hush-hush. [Lucasfilm] exists under a big shroud of secrecy.”
However, it’s important to point out that Star Wars already has an animated series, Star Wars Rebels, on Disney XD, so a new live-action series seems like the direction ABC is headed in. And to all those hardcore Star Wars fans out there, Star Wars: Underworld, set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.
But the show, about the rebellion, never worked out, though Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy said in 2015 that the company was looking at the material.
Following the success and failure of Marvel spinoff TV series, I wouldn’t be surprised to see ABC network attempt to create a TV show based on a billion dollar hit movie franchise. That being said, I’m not too sure fans would be that interested as well. That being said, Star Wars is now hiring.
