According to Variety, Amazon and Michael B. Jordan‘s Outlier Society have acquired the rights to ‘Fourth Wing’ and its sequel, ‘Iron Flame,’ as well as the planned ‘The Empyrean‘ book series from Entangled Publishing.
What is the Plot of ‘Fourth Wing’?
The synopsis for the ‘Fourth Wing’ TV series follows: “Enter the brutal world of Basgiath War College, where there is only one rule: graduate or die. Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail is expected to live a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. If the fire-breathing beasts don’t kill her, one of her fellow riders just might. Suspense, action, romance, and dragons blend together in a propulsive fantasy adventure from NYT bestselling author Rebecca Yarros.”
Yarros and Liz Pelletier are executive producers for the ‘Fourth Wing’ TV series. No other details on the writers or the cast are known at the moment. If it’s greenlit, the ‘Fourth Wing’ adaptation will be on Prime Video.
