Star Wars' Lando Series Is Moving Forward In A Big Way With Donald Glover, Following A Discouraging Update
Great news from the galaxy far, far away!

With the long-awaited premiere of Star Wars' Ahsoka TV show for Disney+ subscribers less than a month away in the 2023 TV schedule, good news has broken about another project planned for the galaxy far, far away. Despite first being announced several years ago and a recent discouraging update, the LandoTV show with Donald Glover reprising the role from Solo is moving forward, and Glover won't just be involved in front of the camera.
Even though Glover hasn't portrayed the Star Wars legend since Solo premiered back in 2018, he was announced as returning to playing Lando Calrissian in a TV series in late 2020. According to Above The Line, the actor is now on board the show as a writer alongside his brother, Stephen Glover, with io9confirming that the Community alum will star as well as co-write.
While it's not surprising that Donald Glover will portray Lando again after the initial reports that the series would center on a younger version of the character than ever portrayed by Billy Dee Williams, the news is particularly welcome in the wake of a recent update seemed to suggest that the show wasn't moving forward.
