In the wake of various other genre TV successes, Willow offers a high-fantasy concept with a young adult tone.
It's no secret that fantasy TV has taken off in the last few years. Series like House of the Dragon, Rings of Power, The Witcher, and Wheel of Time have all tried to capitalize on the Game of Thrones audience since its ending. And many of them have become popular in their own rights. The increased audience for high-fantasy shows has breathed new life into old stories. The new Disney+ show, Willow, is one of them. Willow is Disney's first attempt at bringing in this audience.
Willow isn't angling for exactly the same viewership that is common for fantasy shows. It combines the high-fantasy concept with a young adult feel. The series centers on a new generation as they set out on their journey and promises plenty of teen drama based on the make-up of the team. Like many stories aimed at younger audiences, the series will also focus heavily on a Chosen One plotline.
'Willow' Finds a Balance Between Fairytale and Darkness Willow takes a different direction than the other shows, but it's not entirely bloodless. Episode 1, "The Gales," includes a battle with some unsettling creatures and Jorgen Kase's violent death by arrows. But even with battles and casualties, Willow is different. It doesn't include the grittiness typical for the genre.
