March 8, 2018 | Posted by Joseph Lee

StarWars.com has announced that Jon Favreau will write and executive produce a new live-action Star Wars TV series for Disney’s upcoming streaming service. Favreau previously played roles in Star Wars: the Clone Wars and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said: “I couldn’t be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform. 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.

Favreau added: “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. I can’t wait to embark upon this exciting adventure.

The series does not have a release date, although the streaming service is set to launch in 2019.
