What’s New On Disney+ | Willow (UK/Ireland)
It’s Wednesday and time to take a look at what’s been added onto Disney+ today, which includes the first episode of “Willow” and the FX series, “The Patient”.
Here’s the rundown:
Willow – Episode 1 & 2
An epic period fantasy series with a modern sensibility set in an enchanted land of breathtaking beauty, “Willow” features a diverse international cast with Jonathan Kasdan, Ron Howard, Wendy Mericle, Kathleen Kennedy, and Michelle Rejwan serving as executive producers. The story began with an aspiring magician from a Nelwyn village and an infant girl destined to unite the realms, who together helped destroy an evil queen and banish the forces of darkness. Now, in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls, and other mystical creatures flourish, the adventure continues, as an unlikely group of heroes set off on a dangerous quest to places far beyond their home, where they must face their inner demons and come together to save their world.
The Patient
The Patient is a psychological thriller about a therapist, “Alan Strauss” (Steve Carell), who’s held prisoner by a patient, “Sam Fortner” (Domhnall Gleeson), who reveals himself to be a serial killer. Sam has an unusual therapeutic demand for Alan: curb his homicidal urges. In order to survive, Alan must unwind Sam’s disturbed mind and stop him from killing again – but Sam refuses to address critical topics. Alone in captivity, Alan excavates his own past through memories of his old therapist, and grapples with waves of his own repressed troubles, including the recent death of his wife, and the painful estrangement from his religious son. Over the course of his imprisonment, Alan uncovers not only how deep Sam’s compulsion runs, but also how much work he has to do to repair the rift in his own family. With time running out, Alan fights desperately to stop Sam before Alan becomes complicit in Sam’s murders – or worse, becomes a target himself.
