In an interview at Star Wars Celebration with Cinemablend, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy provided an update on the state of play of the previously announced Lando TV series.
CinemaBlend’s own Law Sharma had the opportunity to speak with Kathleen Kennedy at Star Wars Celebration, during which time he asked her if there’s been any word or movement on the Lando series. As it turns out, Donald Glover’s busy schedule is currently holding up this project from making any major progress forward, with Kathleen Kennedy saying:
“You need to ask Donald. He’s the one that holds all the cards here. But there’s no movement. I will say that honestly. But it’s not for lack of trying. It’s just that he’s a very busy guy. … He’s got another series, and I think one other thing, and then he’ll come our way. So patiently waiting.”
The TV series alluded to by Kathleen Kennedy is likely the TV reboot of the film “Mr & Mrs Smith” for Amazon, a project that once also had fellow Solo: A Star Wars Story star, Phoebe Waller-Bridge attached.
Dear White People writer and director Justin Simien is developing the Lando TV series for Disney+.
