Things are slowly coming together for the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney Plus as the show now has a writer.

GameSpot reports that the new writer for the series will be Joby Harold, whose previous credits include “Edge of Tomorrow,” “John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum,” and “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.” This new assignment will be Harold’s first time writing for a television series.

Aside from those writing credits, Variety notes that Harold has also served as an executive producer on the shows “Spinning Out” and “Underground.” The publication also took note of the first look deal with Legendary Pictures that Harold’s Safehouse Pictures signed.

Before Harold took on the job, the Obi-Wan Kenobi show was in a precarious position, as its former writer Hossein Amini reportedly left the production because of creative differences. Ewan McGregor, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the “Star Wars” prequels and is set to reprise the role in the series, says that those rumors were unfounded.

McGregor insists that the departure was “not as dramatic” as the internet made it out to be. The star says the production merely wanted to do more work on the scripts, especially since the release of “Star Wars: The Return of Skywalker” finally gave everyone the time to look at the scripts.

The series already has a director in Deborah Chow, who also directed a number of episodes for the Disney Plus hit, “The Mandalorian.” Kathleen Kennedy, Lucasfilm president, praised Chow’s phenomenal work on “The Mandalorian” and expressed confidence that she would be able to explore the “quiet determination and rich mystique” of the character of Obi-Wan.

The series is also lucky enough to not have been hit by the rash of canceled and postponed events brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. Most recently, Justin Bieber had to reschedule his 2020 Changes tour because of concerns surrounding the coronavirus. The Obi-Wan Kenobi series is only set to start filming until next year, with a possible release date in the fall of 2021.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series’s 2021 filming date will hopefully also be a better time for the entertainment industry. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the North American box office has suffered a sharp 25 percent decline on year-over-year revenue, amounting to a deficit worth $600 million.

Globally, the entertainment industry is expected to suffer a $5 billion loss due to the fact that other huge film markets like South Korea, Japan, and China have also had to implement moviehouse closures that have cut deeply into the revenue of the entertainment industry.
