Lucasfilm Reportedly Cancels Indiana Jones Spinoff Series for Disney+

The Indiana Jones spin-off series reported to be in the works for Disney+ has been crated and wheeled into the museum of canceled projects. In November, news broke that Disney and Lucasfilm were developing an Indiana Jones TV series set within the world of Harrison Ford's globe-trotting archaeologist adventurer as the studios ready a fifth Indiana Jones film, the James Mangold-directed Dial of Destiny. Insider Jeff Sneider suggested the series was to be a prequel to 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark and focus on Indy's unseen mentor, Abner Ravenwood, an Egyptologist and archaeologist who is dead by the time of the first film's events in 1936.

Might be a good thing that it's cancelled. Source

Probably for the best.

Ive loved Indiana Jones for 3 decades but its run its course.  Let it live fondly in our memories.

 

Its not like the Star Wars universe where you can tell other stories.  Its about a guy who is way too old to play his younger self and honestly, who is going to play a young Harrison Ford?

Me too. the franchise should end with this new one coming out. Should have stayed dead before the abomination that was Crystal Skull.

There's another movie coming out this summer with an even older Ford in the role.

A joke. Disney is getting backlash online from the right for intentionally being too diverse instead of doing it organically. So the joke is ... of course they canceled a series starring some cis white guy.

Umm sure - yeah this type of joke about a show that had no casting announcements.
