Amazon is readying a small-screen adaptation of the best-selling series of fantasy books by Robert Jordan. The post-Game of Thrones vacuum is a lucrative time, ripe for small-screen adaptations of literary epic-fantasy tales. Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy is currently airing on BBC and HBO, and has been renewed for another season. Amazon is preparing a prequel series to Lord of the Rings directed by Spanish helmer Juan Antonio Bayona, rumoured to have a budget of one billion dollars and already greenlit for a second season. In addition, another fantasy powerhouse and best-selling literary series is being transformed into a tent-pole blockbuster series – namely, Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time, which spans 15 books. Amazon has ordered the series, and Sony is co-producing. Rafe Judkins, the writer on the shows My Own Worst Enemy, Chuck and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., is the series showrunner and executive producer.
