"Coming back to this role, a role I played over 34 years ago now, is a pretty surreal moment, actually," Davis said. "I know fans have been asking for it for years, wanting to see a sequel. And once again, Willow is called upon to save the day." "We really wanted to follow that story and then shift Willow into a role of being the sort of crotchety old mentor who's got to tell her where she's going and how to do it," says Jon Kasdan, writer and executive producer."We were quite nervous about it. He was just constantly cracking jokes to chill everybody out," said Erin Kellyman, who plays Jade.Cast members say they wanted fans to be proud of this new adventure.
"It is such an honor to be a part of something that is so important to so many people's childhoods," said Ruby Cruz, who plays Kit."If you're a fan of the original, you get to see more of it, you get to see things explained and there's even more magic," said Tony Revolori, who plays Graydon.will be released on Disney+ on Wednesday, with new episodes being released weekly.Copyright © 2022 KABC Television, LLC.
