Meet the cast of Willow on Disney Plus
Warwick Davis is joined in the series by Ellie Bamber and Ruby Cruz.
Disney Plus' latest fantasy series sees Warwick Davis return to the role of Nelwyn sorcerer Willow, 34 years after he first appeared on our screens in the 1988 fantasy film.
The new series of the same name follows up on the story set up in that original film, with Joanne Whalley also returning as Sorsha and plenty of references made to Val Kilmer's Madmartigan, who was unable to return for the new episodes.
However, joining them this time around is a whole group of new characters, played by actors including Ruby Cruz, Ellie Bamber, Tony Revolori and Erin Kellyman.
