Representatives for Disney did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment. Headland herself has yet to confirm the news, but FWIW, she currently identifies as a "chaotic-neutral jedi-sith" in her Twitter bio. So, we know she's a fan.
Other than Headland's role as showrunner and writer, details about the untitled project are scarce. According to Variety's sources, it will likely take place in a different timeline from other Star Wars stories, opening up a whole host of possibilities (all perfectly suited to Headland's reality-bending wheelhouse) in our galaxy far, far away.
Headland's project would join two other Star Wars series in-development at Disney+, including Chow's Obi-Wan series and a Rogue One prequel led by showrunner Stephen Schiff. Season 2 of The Mandalorian is slatedto arrive this October; Season 3 has already begun pre-production.
