The names "Ballantine" and "Boorman" are both homages to important contributors to the fantasy genre. Ballantine Books is one of the leading publishers of science fiction and fantasy literature in the United States, while filmmaker John Boorman is the director of the fantasy classic Excalibur (1981).
Warwick Davis's real-life daughter Annabelle plays Mims Ufgood. In the original movie, she was played by Dawn Downing.
Showrunner Jonathan Kasdan credits the fact that Ron Howard took over as director on Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018) as the catalyst for the Willow sequel series getting a green light. Kasdan, who co-wrote Solo with his father, had already been expressing his love for the original Willow (1988) to Warwick Davis on set, but when he convinced Ron Howard to team up with him and talk to Kathleen Kennedy, they finally managed to get a deal, allowing Kasdan to bring his dream project to the screen.
In the December 2022 issue of SFX Magazine, showrunner Jonathan Kasdan revealed that the series features many references to the Willow novelization by Wayland Drew (1988) and the Willow roleplaying game sourcebook by Allen Varney (also 1988), which Kasdan took very seriously as a fan. However, the "Chronicles of the Shadow War" trilogy of books written by Chris Claremont from a story by George Lucas (published between 1995 and 1999) is described by Kasdan as 'tangential' to this new story.
The name Hastur is an homage to the god who appeared in stories by Ambrose Bierce, August Derleth, Robert W. Chambers, and H. P. Lovecraft.
