Overview
- Apple TV+ closed a widely reported deal for film and television rights across the Cosmere, per The Hollywood Reporter.
- Mistborn is being developed as a feature-film property, while The Stormlight Archive is moving forward in television development with Blue Marble attached.
- Reporting describes Sanderson’s role as unusually expansive, with writing, producing, consulting duties and formal approvals over adaptations.
- The pact followed a competitive process that included meetings with multiple studio leaders before Apple prevailed.
- Sanderson says he will spend the next five months writing a Mistborn screenplay, aiming to launch a theatrical film before a Stormlight series, with all projects still in early development and no cast or directors announced.
