The New Lando Series: Exciting Writer Swap and Donald Glover's Involvement Revealed!

Summary

Once the strikes conclude, Lando will progress, leaving fans reassured and amplifying the already soaring level of excitement surrounding the show.

Excitement builds as the Emmy-winning writing duo, the Glovers, join forces with Donald Glover for his highly anticipated return as the notorious scoundrel. The upcoming Lando show in the Star Wars universe takes a thrilling turn with this exciting development. Initially announced in 2020, the spin-off show has remained relatively quiet on updates, but it has now been officially confirmed that the series is progressing with a fresh team of writers.

Lando's original writer, Justin Simien, has recently left the project, as reported by Above the Line and confirmed by Gizmodo and Variety. Taking his place, however, is the multi-talented Donald Glover, who will now be co-writing the script alongside his brother Stephen. Despite the recent strikes by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA, a deal was already established with Lucasfilm, so the development of Lando will continue, but it may take some time before the Glovers fully dive back into it. As for the original Lando actor, Billy Dee Williams, it remains unclear whether he will be involved in the project or not.

Lando Is Primed To Move Forward When Strikes End

The new writer's involvement with Lando reinforces the expectation that Glover will reprise his role. Although not officially confirmed, it appears that Lando will continue to be part of the storyline after the strikes. This could explain why Emilia Clarke, who plays Qi'ra in Solo, seemed anxious and avoided giving a direct response when asked about her character's future. Considering that Qi'ra has ties to both young Han Solo and Lando, it would be logical for her to make an appearance in the Lando show.

This new report for Lando is incredibly thrilling, especially after a prolonged period of no updates. It not only confirms that the show's development will continue once the strikes conclude but also adds to the excitement as the Glovers, an Emmy-winning writing duo, are involved. Donald Glover, who has become just as beloved in the role as Billy Dee Williams, will not only be reprising his role as the infamous scoundrel but also taking on the responsibility of writing. Fans can eagerly anticipate Lando's arrival on Disney+ in the near future.
