Willow says goodbye to Disney+: the second season has been canceled

Disney has taken heavy measures with Willow. The live-action series says goodbye forever with the cancellation of the second season. As was reported on Deadline, the decision was attributed to the reduction in spending on content within the production company, which seeks to boost its net profits.

Willow, the hallmark of Warwick Davis

The actor returned to the front page as the protagonist of this new edition of the fantasy epic.
