Prime Video has cast Esther McGregor and Emilio Sakraya to lead its upcoming series adaptation of Rebecca Yarros' bestselling novel, "The Fourth Wing." McGregor will portray Violet Sorrengail, a young woman unexpectedly thrust into the dangerous world of dragon riders at the Basgiath War College. Sakraya is set to play Xaden Riorson, a powerful and ruthless wingleader.
The series will delve into the brutal training and political intrigue of Basgiath, where cadets vie for dragon bonds amidst a brewing war. Violet's survival is threatened by both the scarce dragon bonds and the animosity stemming from her mother's military role.
Developed from Yarros' popular "The Empyrean" book series, "Fourth Wing" is a highly anticipated project. Amazon MGM acquired the rights in 2023, with Michael B. Jordan's Outlier Society attached. Meredith Averill is serving as showrunner for the adaptation.
