Deborah Chow to direct Obi-Wan Kenobi series

Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series has found its director in Deborah Chow.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Chow got the job after helming several episodes of the "Star Wars" spin-off series "The Mandalorian", which starts streaming November 12.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said Chow was the perfect fit to direct the series.

"We really wanted to select a director who is able to explore both the quiet determination and rich mystique of Obi-Wan in a way that folds seamlessly into the 'Star Wars' saga.

"Based on her phenomenal work developing our characters in 'The Mandalorian', I'm absolutely confident Deborah is the right director to tell this story," Kennedy said.

Chow's directing credits also include shows such as "American Gods", "Better Call Saul", "Lost in Space", "Jessica Jones", "Reign" and "Mr Robot".

The series, to be written by Hossein Amini, will see Ewan McGregor officially return as the legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi.
