Willow, Power Rangers, and Happy Days are all back!

Willow. Is. Back.

Not a day goes by where the world is asking where the follow-up is to the 1988 Ron Howard fantasy movie Willow. The big news today is that it is coming to Disney+ as a TV series.

Willow will be set years after the film and introduce new characters into its world of fairy queens and monsters. Warwick Davis will return as the titular Willow.

This sounds like a really smart idea.

Not Happy Days for everyone

An online Happy Days reunion panel is being staged as a Biden fundraiser.

But not everyone from the original show is set to appear…

Go Go Power Rangers!

It’s the End of the F---ing World’s creator Jonathan Entwistle is now the man running Hasbro’s efforts to launch a multi-platform Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers extended universe.

What I find interesting about this is that they’re talking about this as a brand reinvigoration that will stretch across multiple media types. Will that include new TV shows? I ask because the TV show that kicked off the franchise has never stopped being made. Yes, the original cast and characters are all mostly long-gone, but every year there have been episodes produced of Power Ranger action with the show rebooted every few seasons. The current incarnation of the show is to be called Power Rangers Dino Fury and it’ll debut in 2021. It is using footage from the Japanese series Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger.
