Overview
- Prime Video greenlit the Fourth Wing TV adaptation at its Upfront presentation to advertisers on Monday in New York, where executive producer Michael B. Jordan announced the order.
- Meredith Averill will adapt the novels as showrunner, Westworld co-creator Lisa Joy will direct the pilot, and author Rebecca Yarros will serve as an executive producer.
- The project dates to a 2023 rights deal and regained momentum last fall when Averill replaced original showrunner Moira Walley-Beckett.
- The series remains in early development with writing underway and no casting or premiere date announced.
- Amazon plans to adapt later Empyrean books if season one succeeds, aiming to tap the BookTok-driven readership with a story set at Basgiath War College where candidates train to become dragon riders.
