It is one of the announcements we’ve been waiting for. Ever since Brandon Sanderson’s latest State of the Sanderson post, we’ve been expecting a flurry of announcements about future adaptations of the various Cosmere projects. We’ve got a Mistborn TV show coming, but now it turns out Sanderson is teaming up with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. showrunners and the studio behind the Netflix One Piece show to adapt his Cytoverse books for television.
Tomorrow Studios is going to adapt Skyward, the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s Cytoverse series. Sanderson is going to write the pilot script alongside Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, two of the showrunners for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. No release window has been announced as the project is still early in its development.
“I’ve been working on the Skyward series for nearly a decade,” Brandon Sanderson said in a statement. “And to have a partner like Tomorrow Studios to help bring this story to television is a dream come true.”
The Skyward series follows Spensa Nightshade, a pilot who wants to join the fighter corps to defend humanity from mysterious alien forces. With humanity trapped on a distant planet and under constant attack, this is going to be a big change from the fantasy world of One Piece that Tomorrow Studios has become known for, but it has the potential to deliver some massive space battles and striking set pieces. Thankfully, that is something that Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. showrunners have some experience with.
Brandon Sanderson is writing the pilot script for Skyward, which is being produced by Tomorrow Studios and has Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen from Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. attached.
