A new "Star Wars" television series is in the works, with female actors taking centre stage in the show from Lesly Headland.

According to Hollywood trade reports, the female-centric "Star Wars" television series is being developed for the Disney+ streaming platform.

The show from the co-creator of Netflix drama "Russian Doll," would be Disney's latest bid to expand the blockbuster sci-fi franchise on the small screen after the runaway success of "The Mandalorian".

Disney did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Deadline Hollywood said the series would be a "female-driven action thriller with martial arts elements and set in an alternate timeline from the usual 'Star Wars' universe."

The Hollywood Reporter said the new show would be live-action.

Disney has prioritized television for "Star Wars" over the next few years.
