Apple TV Lands Brandon Sanderson’s Fantasy Universe in Huge New Deal

-

Apple TV is making a bold move in the fantasy genre. The streaming platform has secured the rights to Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere universe in what has been described as an unprecedented deal. This massive agreement could give Apple TV its own fantasy franchise on the scale of Game of Thrones.

According to reports, the deal includes Sanderson’s most popular works, such as Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive, along with other stories connected to the Cosmere world.

Movies and TV Series Already in Development

Early details suggest a clear plan for adapting the books:

  • Mistborn will be developed as a movie franchise

  • The Stormlight Archive will become a television series

  • Production company Blue Marble, led by Theresa Kang, is already attached to the Stormlight project

While everything is still in early stages, the scale of the project shows Apple TV is serious about building a long-term fantasy universe.

Brandon Sanderson Gets Full Creative Control

What truly sets this deal apart is how much control Brandon Sanderson will have.

Unlike many book adaptations, Sanderson will:

  • Write for the projects

  • Serve as a producer

  • Act as a consultant

  • Have final approval over creative decisions

This level of involvement is rare. Even Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin did not have full control over HBO’s series. Many fans believe Sanderson’s involvement will help avoid the mistakes that hurt other fantasy adaptations when they drifted too far from their source material.

A Fanbase Powerful Enough to Carry a Franchise

Brandon Sanderson is one of the most successful fantasy authors alive today.

That kind of loyal fanbase gives Apple TV a strong foundation. The Cosmere’s interconnected stories could grow into one of the biggest fantasy franchises ever made for television.

Can the Cosmere Beat Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings?

While Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings are still larger in terms of global recognition, both franchises have faced criticism in recent years.

  • Some fans still dislike how Game of Thrones ended

  • The Rings of Power attracted big viewership but divided Tolkien fans

  • Other fantasy shows like The Wheel of Time struggled and were eventually canceled

With Sanderson deeply involved, Apple TV has a real chance to deliver a fantasy adaptation that stays true to its source material — something fans have been demanding for years.
