Overview
- Lewis stepped away from the public eye after appearing on Dancing With the Stars in 2022 and moved from California to Costa Rica to focus on long‑form writing and a healthier lifestyle.
- He re‑emerged on social media in late May 2026 and in interviews confirmed he has outlined and is actively writing a nine‑book project made up of three interconnected trilogies.
- The trilogies share a single world told across different eras with broad arcs Lewis described as an idealistic first trilogy, a descent into monstrosity for the second, and a final redemption story for the third.
- Lewis describes the work as epic fantasy closer in ambition to The Lord of the Rings, with a proprietary magic system grounded in physical rules, and says he is on roughly the fourth draft of book seven.
- No publishers, release dates, or adaptation deals have been announced, so the key next developments to watch are agent or publisher signings, formal release plans, and how Lewis translates his social media return into a reader audience.
