Prime Video Greenlights ‘Fourth Wing’ Series, Based on Rebecca Yarros’ Bestseller, with Michael B. Jordan as Executive Producer
The Hollywood Reporter announced on May 11, 2026, that Amazon’s Prime Video has officially ordered a television adaptation of Rebecca Yarros’ *Fourth Wing* fantasy series, confirming production will begin later this year.
*Fourth Wing* follows the story of young dragon‑rider Ezri, a narrative that has garnered a cult following after the author’s trilogies sold over 10 million copies worldwide. The series has been in development for more than two years, attracting high‑profile talent and multiple studio bids.
The article notes that Michael B. Jordan, famed for his role in *Black Panther* and *Creed*, will serve as an executive producer alongside Yarros herself. Prime Video’s head of original programming, Maya Santos, said, “We’re thrilled to bring Ezri’s world to life with the scale and imagination our audience expects.” The production will be filmed in New Zealand, with showrunner Alisha Khan attached to oversee script development.
Fantasy‑genre analyst Dr. Liam O’Connor of The Hollywood Report notes that Prime Video’s investment aligns with a broader streaming‑war strategy to secure franchise‑ready IPs, pointing to the success of *The Wheel of Time* and *House of the Dragon*.
The first trailer is slated for release at Comic‑Con 2026 in July, with a premiere date targeted for early 2028. Fans are eager to see casting announcements, especially for the lead role of Ezri, which is expected in the coming months.
