Amazon Brings ‘Fourth Wing’ to Life
Amazon is making a new TV show called “Fourth Wing TV Series,” and they picked Moira Walley-Beckett to be in charge. She also worked on “Anne With an E” and “Breaking Bad.” The show is produced by Michael B. Jordan’s company, Outlier Society.
“”Fourth Wing” is based on a popular book series by Rebecca Yarros called “The Empyrean.” The story takes place in a tough school called Basgiath War College, where students must graduate or die.
The main character, Violet Sorrengail, is a 20-year-old who expected to have a quiet life. However, her mom, a military general, orders her to join the candidates striving to become dragon riders, the best fighters in their land of Navarre.
So, instead of enjoying a peaceful life, Violet must train to become one of these elite warriors.
Amazon and Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society started working on the TV show in October 2023. Michael B. Jordan, Elizabeth Raposo, Moira Walley-Beckett, Rebecca Yarros, and Liz Pelletier are all executive producers. Stefano Agosto will also help produce the show.
Rebecca Yarros’ book series started with “Fourth Wing” in May 2023, which stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year. The next book, “Iron Flame,” came out in November 2023, and the third book, “Onyx Storm,” will be released in January 2025. The series will have five books in total.
Moira Walley-Beckett worked on “Breaking Bad” for six years and won three Emmy Awards for her writing. She also created and ran “Anne With an E” on Netflix and “Flesh and Bone” on Starz.
Michael B. Jordan’s company, Outlier Society, has a deal with Amazon to make movies and TV shows. Their biggest project so far is “Creed III.” They are also working on several TV shows and a movie adaptation of “Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6.”
