‘Willow’ Release Schedule: When Does Episode 3 Hit Disney Plus?

Willow brought some old-school fantasy action to Disney Plus this week, with the first two episodes of the series landing on the streaming service. It follows on from the events of the 1988 movie, with actor Warwick Davis (best known for his many Star Wars roles) returning as the titular character.

“Whether you’re a fan of the ’80s movie or not, the new Willow is a slick and entertaining blend of swordplay and wordplay that conjures up some of the old magic,” CNET’s Rich Knightwell wrote in his review.

The show kicked off on Wednesday, Nov. 30, and we’ll get one episode a week until Jan. 11.

Is there a trailer to give me a look at the show?

Lucasfilm released trailers during Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in May and D23 in September. 

Do I need to watch the movie to understand the show?

The series picks up a few decades after the events of the 1988 movie and references them regularly, but most of the characters are new. It does a solid job of weaving in exposition, so you won’t feel lost if you don’t have the bandwidth for the movie.

In late September 2022, Asus quietly released the RT-AXE7800 router — its fifth Wi-Fi 6E broadcaster after the GT-AXE11000, ZenWiFi ET8, GT-AXE16000, and ZenWiFi Pro ET12.
