Donald and Stephen Glover are taking their screenwriting talents to a whole new level; they are joining forces on a project to expand the Star Wars franchise with an upcoming Disney+ series, Lando. Based on the beloved character Lando Calrissian, the show will explore his younger years, with Donald Glover reprising his role from Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Donald Glover's take on the iconic character, originally portrayed by Billy Dee Williams, was met with critical acclaim and widespread approval by audiences. Despite the excitement for Lando's long-anticipated spotlight, the show is being developed as a limited episode series.
Star Wars fans have been looking forward to the series since it was announced almost three years ago. The news of the Glover siblings replacing Justin Simien was kept under wraps for months before coming to light.
Donald Glover's involvement in the project is highly anticipated, and while neither he or his brother have commented on their latest project, the two have worked on multiple projects together in the past. Most notably, their FX series Atlanta, which made Donald a household name, and more recently, Swarm, an Amazon Prime series which has been nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards this year.
The announcement also noted that the brothers signed onto Lando before the Writers Guild of America strike, and are abstaining from working on any other projects.
It's clear that Donald and Stephen Glover are bringing their creativity and talent to the Star Wars franchise. With such an incredible cast and crew, there's no doubt that Lando will be one of the most highly-anticipated shows of the year.
