DIRECTOR ANNOUNCED FOR OBI-WAN KENOBI SERIES EXCLUSIVELY ON DISNEY+

Deborah Chow has been chosen to direct the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series that is exclusively for Disney+. Ewan McGregor will be reprising his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi for the series, which takes place eight years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.

Chow already has experience under her belt with credits including Jessica Jones, Mr. Robot, American Gods, Better Call Saul, and Lost in Space, but according to Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy  it was Chow’s recent work on the upcoming The Mandalorian that led to the decision that she should be chosen as director.

“We really wanted to select a director who is able to explore both the quiet determination and rich mystique of Obi-Wan in a way that folds seamlessly into the Star Wars saga,” Kennedy said. “Based on her phenomenal work developing our characters in The Mandalorian, I’m absolutely confident Deborah is the right director to tell this story.”

The series will be penned by Hossein Amini (The Alienist, Drive). Chow, Amini, and McGregor will act as Executive Producers alongside Kathleen Kennedy, Tracey Seaward (The Queen) and John Swartz (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story). Jason McGatlin, Lucasfilm’s Executive Vice President Production, will serve as co-producer.

McGregor’s Kenobi series is the third live-action series on the Disney+ docket. Mandalorian is central to the launch of the streaming service, which is also developing a Rogue One prequel amongst its Star Wars offering. The latter is an untitled series featuring Rebel Alliance officer Cassian Andor, with Diego Luna reprising the role.

The Mandalorian premieres Nov. 12 when Disney+ launches as a game-changing new entity for the entertainment giant. No final title or release date has been announced for the Obi-Wan series.
