BREAKING: Fantasy author Brandon Sanderson just announced significant updates regarding his adaptation deal with Apple TV. In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Sanderson revealed why he chose Apple and provided insights into when fans can expect the first adaptations of his beloved Cosmere universe.
Sanderson’s excitement for the project is palpable, stating that Apple’s careful approach to its streaming service aligns with his vision. He emphasized, “I really like how they’ve been doing Apple TV+ and their very careful rollout of specific films.” This partnership will afford Sanderson an extraordinary level of creative control over the adaptations, surpassing that of other fantasy giants like George R.R. Martin and J.K. Rowling.
In a groundbreaking move, Sanderson will co-showrun a series based on his Stormlight novels while writing the script for a feature adaptation of Mistborn. Fans eager for these projects will need to exercise patience, as Sanderson cautioned, “these aren’t coming next year.” He encourages followers to stay tuned for updates on his progress, which he believes will not significantly hinder his prolific writing career, having produced over 70 books since 2005.
The Cosmere is a shared universe that ties many of Sanderson’s works together, inspired by the narratives of science fiction pioneer Isaac Asimov. It features tales of magic and adventure, including the Mistborn series, focused on rebels fighting an oppressive empire, and the Stormlight series, set in a world plagued by supernatural storms.
As anticipation builds for these adaptations, fans are encouraged to subscribe to updates for in-depth analysis and insights into how Sanderson’s intricate world will be translated to the screen.
Stay tuned for further developments as Apple TV prepares to unleash this highly anticipated series into the streaming landscape. This is a momentous occasion for fans of fantasy literature and cinema alike, promising to bring a fresh wave of storytelling to screens around the world.
