What format will it be? Will the Amazon adaptation be a Movie or a Series?
It’s planned as a multi-season series, covering the five book run. Of course, it remains to be seen if it gets made and how far it gets.
Who’s behind it?
Amazon MGM Studios currently owns the television rights to the Fourth Wing and the other four books in the series. It’s developing the series along with Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society.
Author Rebecca Yarros will serve as an executive producer. In an interview with Variety, Yarros discussed the upcoming series:
“But we knew in December [2022] it was going to be Amazon and (Michael B Jordan’s production company) Outlier and I could not be any happier about where it ended up. Outlier is such a great production company and they have a wonderful diversity and inclusion rider, one of the first companies to have them, which is why I was so joyful, because I knew they would respect the diversity of cast.”
What’s the status of the Fourth Wing / Empyrean adaptation?
The adaptation has been in the works since late 2022 and was announced in late 2023. It’s currently in development.
In a panel at Emerald City Comic Con 2024, Rebecca Yarros explained that the delay in announcing the series was out of respect to the writer’s strike: “We were going to announce the television series on release date and the writers went on strike. So naturally, we’re going to support the writer strike and we’re gonna keep our mouth shut, so we so we just had to like hold and wait. And all these people were asking me these questions online [about whether or not it would ever be adapted] that I can’t answer because it has an adaptation. So I’m just over there, like, ‘I’m gonna be quiet!’ and being quiet and being very, very quiet.”
