'I certainly poured my heart and spent a lot of time working with them to put together a really great show.'
It was announced in December 2020, during Disney's Investor Day presentation that a new Star Wars spinoff series centered around Han Solo’s smooth-talking BFF Lando Calrissian was officially in the works. Titled Lando, the series was earmarked for a run on Disney+ with Dear White People creator Justin Simien tapped to write the script. In the months that followed, there has been very little information regarding the progress made on the series.
Strapped to the director's chair for Disney's upcoming movie Haunted Mansion, Simien spoke to The Direct about his involvement in the Lucasfilm's upcoming Disney+ series. The director revealed that he hadn't gotten much in the way of new information since 2020. He did, however, sound optimistic that the work done on Lando is one he "feels like everybody loves.
Donald Glover is set to reprise his role as the debonair scoundrel in Lando after his stint in Solo. Prior to Simien's comments, the last update about the future of the show was given by Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy during Star Wars Celebration in April. At the time, Kennedy revealed that the series is still on track. "I can just tell you it's still happening, and he's very excited about it," she said, confirming Glover's involvement in the project.
Lando does not have a release date yet. Ahsoka will begin streaming exclusively on Disney+ on August 23. You can check out our recent interview with Rosario Dawson below.
