This short is us basically losing our minds, because this is the biggest thing since sliced bread in the fantasy space: Brandon Sanderson is finally getting adapted. And not in the “Netflix just throwing out slop” way—this is Apple TV producing it, which (in our opinion) is one of the few streamers that actually seems to care about quality over quantity. They’ve got a strong track record, and stuff like Murderbot had me feeling way more confident about them handling big nerdy IP with care. The juicy part is what the Hollywood Reporter exclusive claims the deal includes: not just one series, but the entire Cosmere—Stormlight, Mistborn, the secret projects, the whole thing. The specific plan mentioned is Mistborn as feature films and Stormlight as a TV series, which is honestly the perfect medium for each. And the absolute best news? Sanderson’s level of control sounds unprecedented—writing, producing, consulting, and having approvals—more involvement than even Rowling or George R. R. Martin get. As a Wheel of Time fan, I’m simultaneously thrilled and a little emotionally damaged, but yeah… I’ve got high hopes. Now give Henry Cavill a role and let’s cook.
