Overview
- Prime Video confirmed the series order Monday at its New York upfront, with executive producer Michael B. Jordan announcing the pickup onstage.
- Meredith Averill will serve as showrunner and executive producer, and Westworld co-creator Lisa Joy will direct the pilot and executive produce.
- The adaptation draws from Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean novels, which follow Violet Sorrengail training at a deadly war college to become a dragon rider in the kingdom of Navarre.
- Yarros is an executive producer alongside Jordan and Elizabeth Raposo for Outlier Society, Jonathan Nolan and Athena Wickham for Kilter Films, and Liz Pelletier and Sherryl Clark for Premeditated Productions.
- The series remains in early development with no casting or release timeline, and producers plan to adapt later books in future seasons if the first outing succeeds.
