Subject: [NEWS] Apple TV adapting "Mistborn" and "The Stormlight Archive" fantasy books



Apple TV To Develop Films & Shows Based on Popular Fantasy Books
----------------------------------------------------------------
Apple TV has launched development on a new screen adaptation based
on a bestselling fantasy book universe. As early production gears
up, the team remains tight-lipped about specific titles, focusing
instead on building out a broader multi-format franchise.

Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive books get
film and TV adaptations
Apple TV has secured the rights to Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere
universe, with plans to develop the Mistborn series into feature
films and The Stormlight Archive as a television series (via The
Hollywood Reporter). The deal gives Sanderson extensive creative
control, including roles as writer, producer, consultant, and
final decision-maker on the screen adaptations.

Blue Marble, led by former WME agent Theresa Kang, has begun
production on The Stormlight Archive series. The agreement gives
Brandon Sanderson direct authority over all aspects of the
adaptation process. This level of control is rare for an author.

Sanderson finalized the deal after meeting with several major
studios in a competitive bidding process. He now oversees the
Cosmere's transition to screen, managing continuity and creative
execution across all projects. He has sold over 50 million books
worldwide and built a large, loyal global readership. Through
crowdfunding, he raised nearly $100 million in total. A Kickstarter
campaign for four novels alone generated almost $42 million,
setting a record for the platform.

Mistborn follows magic users who harness metal-based powers to
challenge a totalitarian empire. The Way of Kings, the first book
in The Stormlight Archive, unfolds on a world plagued by magical
storms and inhabited by knights and ancient creatures called
Voidbringers.

Both series belong to the Cosmere mythos, a shared universe
spanning multiple worlds. These worlds connect through shards of a
god-like being whose shattered power distributes different forms
of magic across the cosmos.

WME and attorney Matthew Sugarman of Weintraub Tobin represent
Sanderson. His annual fan convention will return on December 3-5,
2026, in Salt Lake City.
