According to Variety, Lucasfilm and Disney are in the very early stages of creating a series about Indiana Jones for Disney+. No details about the potential series are available yet, as the studio is still seeking a writer, but whatever form the series takes it will probably not star Harrison Ford as Jones, who is set to bow out of the eponymous role with Indiana Jones 5 next year.

The last time Indiana Jones appeared on the small screen was in the 1992 ABC series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Variety claims that the Disney+ series is just one part of a larger plan to keep Indiana Jones alive after Ford's death.
