Amazon has found the leads for its Fourth Wing TV show
Esther McGregor and Emilio Sakraya will star in Prime Video's version of Rebecca Yarros' ridiculously successful "new adult" fantasy franchise Fourth Wing.
Amazon has secured the rights to Rebecca Yarros' popular Fourth Wing franchise, following its massive success since the first book's release in 2023. The streaming giant officially greenlit the series back in May, and this week, Prime Video announced it has cast the ensemble for the Meredith Averill adaptation. Esther McGregor, known for her roles in Babygirl and We Were Liars, portrays Violet Sorrengail, the dragon-riding cadet and series' lead character.
Emilio Sakraya, a German film and music chart sensation, plays Xaden Riorson, Violet's rival. Adding to the show's star-studded cast is Lisa Joy, who executive produces and directs alongside Michael B. Jordan, who serves as an executive producer through his production company, Outlier Society. Averill, who has produced successful genre TV shows such as The Haunting of Hill House and Locke & Key, steps in as showrunner.
Despite these high-profile additions, the immense expectations from fans of the beloved book series remain a significant challenge for the show to meet.
