Disney is riding high on the success of its new Disney+ streaming service this week. It has been announced that the platform has picked up over 25 million subscribers within its first quarter of business, a hugely impressive figure in an already packed market.
Now Disney CEO Bob Iger has discussed the future of some of the platform, and the studios, biggest franchises.
“The priority in the next few years is television,” said Bob Iger in a recent quarterly earnings call with investors regarding the future of Star Wars. Later in the interview Iger touched on the success of Disney+ seres The Mandalorian saying “the possibility of infusing [The Mandalorian] with more characters and taking those characters in their own direction in terms of series.”
Are there any characters from the first season of the show that you would like to see spin-off in to the their own series? Except Baby Yoda of course…
Written by Iron Man‘s Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito, Emily Swallow, Omid Abtahi, Werner Herzog and Nick Nolte. The series debuts new episodes weekly on Disney+.
