ABC in talks with Lucasfilm about a Star Wars TV series

August 4, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Despite all the rumours, speculation and “scoops” surrounding a potential Netflix show, it looks like Disney-owned ABC may be first to get their hands on Star Wars on the small screen, with ABC executive Channing Dungey revealing at the Television Critics Association’s semi-annual press tour that the network is in talks with Lucasfilm about a Star Wars TV series.

“Oh, as a fan, I would absolutely love to say ‘Yes,’” said Dungey when asked whether she’d like to see a prime-time Star Wars series (via EW). “The conversations with Lucasfilm, we have had conversations with them and will continue to have conversations with them. I think it would be wonderful if we could find a way to extend that brand into our programming. It’s all a little bit hush-hush. That company exists under a big shroud of secrecy. If you feel Marvel’s secretive, [Lucasfilm] takes it to a whole other level … [Talks] are ongoing. We don’t have an official timeline yet.”

It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to hear that ABC is in talks with its fellow Disney subsidiary, given that the network has mined the Marvel brand with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter, and Disney XD is already enjoying success with the animated series Star Wars Rebels.  That being said, there’s still a long way to go from being in talks to actually closing a deal…
