‘Eragon’ TV Series Adaptation in Development at Disney+ (EXCLUSIVE)

An “Eragon” live-action TV series is in early development at Disney+, Variety has learned exclusively from sources.

The series would be based on the Christopher Paolini young adult novel series “The Inheritance Cycle,” with “Eragon” being the first of the four books in that series.

According to sources, Paolini will serve as co-writer on the series. Bert Salke will executive produce under his Co-Lab 21 banner, with 20th Television producing. Salke is currently under an overall deal with Disney Television Studios, of which 20th TV is a part.

Reps for Disney and Paolini did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.

“The Inheritance Cycle” tells the story of a farmboy named Eragon who discovers an egg that hatches into a dragon he names Saphira. Through their bond and the help of his mentor Brom, Eragon learns to be a Dragon Rider, an ancient order that had long been thought to be wiped out by the evil king Galbatorix. Eragon and Saphira set out to defeat Galbatorix and free the land of Alagaësia from his tyranny.

“Eragon” was first self-published in 2002 before it was republished by Knopf in 2003. It was followed by “Eldest” in 2005, “Brisingr” in 2008, and “Inheritance” in 2011. The whole series has proven to be incredibly popular, with over 41 million copies sold worldwide.

Should the project move forward, it would not be first time that “Eragon” has been adapted for the screen. The book was previously adapted into a film of the same name in 2006 with Ed Speleers as Eragon, Rachel Weisz as the voice of Saphira, Jeremy Irons as Brom, and John Malkovich as Galbatorix. The film was widely panned by critics upon its release and grossed approximately $250 million at the worldwide box office against a reported budget of $100 million. In 2021, fans of the books began using the hashtag #EragonRemake in an effort to get Disney to produce a series version given their disappointment with the film.

“Eragon” would also be the latest high-profile YA novel series to get adapted into a Disney+ series. The streamer is currently working on a series version of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson books starring Walker Scobell in the lead role.

Paolini is repped by WME and Writers House.

Note: An earlier version of the story stated Paolini would be co-showrunner on the series, but it is now understood that the project is in such early stages that no such decision has been made officially.

Ottimo, ci vogliono proprio queste produzioni, le farei anch'io se fossi in loro! Ma che le facciano rispettose dei romanzi ed epiche, altrimenti che se le tengano! Ci devono investire e credere, anzitutto! Ma il fatto che ci sia dietro lo stesso Paolini promette davvero bene! *_____________*

Ecco la conferma/dichiarazione di Christopher Paolini, autore della saga su Twitter:

vetha Fricaya! Greetings Friends.

As you may have seen, there was an unplanned announcement earlier this week, but yes, it’s true an Eragon television series is in development at Disney+, and I’m attached to both co-writeand produce! And yes, I’m extremely excited for what the future holds. At the moment, I can’t go into details-it’s still early days with regard to this project-but I can say that I’m very pleased with the team I’m working with at 20th Television, Disney Branded Television, and Disney +. These are smart, passionate people, and I’m looking forward to making the best possible Eragon/Inheritance Cycle adaptation with them. This has been a long time coming. I can’t tell you how many conversations, meetings, and messages were needed in order to reach this point. And we’re still just at the beginning!

However, none of this would have been possible without everyone who has read the books, supported the tweetstorms, and participated in this fandom over the years. So a huge thank you from me to every Alagaesian out there. You brought the thunder.

Disney will have more to say on this adaptation in the near future, but in the meantime, I wanted to confirm the news and to reassure you that I’m committed to making sure that this version of Eragon’s story lives up to your highest expectations. And of course, as the elves would say, “Atra esterní ono thelduin.”

Sono fan di questa saga e quindi è un progetto che mi interessa molto.
Sono convinto che per Eragon verrà scelto un bianco (esattamente come è stato per Percy)
Qui la quota nera in parte è già presa perché il personaggio di Nausada è scuro di pelle, ma probabilmente ci sarà almeno un personaggio importante in più che verrà da qualcuno scuro di pelle... forse Orik o Arya o magari entrambi.
Comunque sarà già una vittoria se per doppiare Saphira in italiano non richiameranno Ilaria D’Amico.
