Jon Favreau, the executive producer, is directing the first episode; he has plenty of experience with Disney, having previously directed Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Jungle Book, and 2019's next big live-action remake, The Lion King. Favreau will team up with Dave Filoni, who worked on Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. Kathleen Kennedy and Colin Wilson are also executive producers!
As for the rest of the episodes? Disney has tapped all kinds of talent. Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Bryce Dallas Howard, and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) will direct additional episodes in the series.
