Dragon riders, get ready! A Fourth Wing TV show is coming. Amazon MGM studios and Outlier Society have optioned the rights to Rebecca Yarros’ mega-hit romantasy novel, and they’ve already appointed a showrunner. We expect that casting news will be imminent, and then before you know it, the show will be in production.
Fourth Wing is set at Basgiath War College in the fictional kingdom of Navarre. Every young person in the kingdom attends Basgiath under one of the four quadrants: riders, healers, scribes, and infantry. Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail always expected to go into the scribe quadrant and follow in her late father’s studious footsteps, but six months before Conscription Day, her mother says that Violet will instead be joining the deadly riders quadrant like her older siblings. The book begins on Violet’s first day, surviving the harrowing parapet entrance exam and being thrust into a training program that will test everything she knows about her kingdom and her own strength.
