Meredith Averill to Lead ‘Fourth Wing’ Series as Michael B. Jordan Promises Authentic Casting

Meredith Averill now leads the Prime Video project, with Jordan emphasizing fidelity through casting that avoids obvious picks.

Overview

Amazon MGM Studios has set Meredith Averill as showrunner and executive producer for the live-action adaptation, produced with Outlier Society, Kilter Films, and Premediated Production.
Michael B. Jordan says the series will “feel honest” to Rebecca Yarros’ books and will steer clear of “cheesy” or overly obvious choices.
The casting plan targets a balance of fresh faces and recognizable talent to help viewers connect with the characters without baggage.
Jordan says his own potential on-screen role remains undecided, and neither a release date nor principal cast has been announced.
