Author Rebecca Yarros changed our lives on October 2023 when she announced that our favourite dragon series (Fourth Wing) was being turned into a TV show.
Now, rumours have started to spread around casting — so, of course, we had to investigate. What can I say? It’s in our dragon rider blood.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Fourth Wing TV show
What is Fourth Wing?
Fourth Wing is a five-part fantasy book series by Rebecca Yarros. Three books have been released so far: Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm (try saying that three times).
The first book in the series, Fourth Wing, is set at Basgiath War College, where students choose to train in one of four military Quadrants: dragon rider, healer, infantry or scribe.
We follow a scribe in training, Violet Sorrengail, as she is forced by her mother to become a dragon rider instead. Did I mention that she can only escape by graduating or dying? To make matters worse, her mum’s enemy, Xaden Riorson, wants her dead — or at least that’s what Violet (or violence, as he calls her) thinks.

The second book, Iron Flame, follows Violet in her second year as she battles magical powers, family secrets and lies that change everything dragon riders stand for.

In the most recent book, Onyx Storm, Violet must go on a quest to find her dragon Adarna’s origin, or they are doomed forever. Dun, dun, dunnn.

When is the fourth Fourth Wing book coming out?
The fourth Fourth Wing book should come out around 2027 if we follow the two-year timeline between Iron Flame and Onyx Storm.
Yarros confirmed that she’s not doing the year-turnaround again, like she did with Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, on account of book-induced burnout.
“I’ve been really clear that I’m going to rest now,” Yarros told ELLE. “I drove my body to a place that was untenable, and I knew it, and my family knew it, and my husband knew it, and it shouldn’t have happened. I shouldn’t have allowed it to happen.”

The first clue we received about Xaden Riorson’s casting was in an interview with Variety.
“We’re just going to say he’s POC [person of colour], we’re just going to leave it at that,” said Yarros. “I was never going to give the readers my vision because I know that once you give the readers your vision, that’s what they’re gonna stick to. And I wanted to make sure we left it open to as much diversity as possible.”
ELLE then pointed out that Anglo-Sri Lankan Heartbreak High star Josh Heuston put a dragon in his bio AND followed Yarros.

“Yeah, but he could just really like dragons and enjoy the book, like the rest of us,” I hear you brushing me off.
WELL, dear reader, the icing on the cake is that he follows the producer of the Fourth Wing TV show, Michael B. Jordan. HA.
The Aussie heartthrob has also most recently starred in Dune Prophecy, which feels on par with the fantasy style.

The next cast clue also came from ELLE, where they discovered that Twilight star Mackenzie Foy follows Yarros AND posted Onyx Storm to her Instagram story. Fans speculate that Foy will play Violet Sorrengail due to her small scribe-ish features.

The smoking gun for me is that she rides horses, which means she has the perfect dragon-riding form.

After doing some of my own digging, I discovered that Foy enjoyed The Dragon Prince, a Netflix show that, you guessed it, focuses on dragons. Now she’ll be able to star in a dragon show herself.
Who is working on Fourth Wing?
There are multiple big names working on Fourth Wing.
@nicolina.marie Latest details on the Fourth Wing TV show! #fourthwing #rebeccayarros #onyxstorm ♬ original sound – Nicolina | 📚🧚🏼♀️✨
Moira Walley-Beckett will be the showrunner of Fourth Wing. Our beloved book is in good hands, as she has experience transforming books into TV shows — including Anne With An E.
Elizabeth Raposo will be an executive producer. We should get some great fighting and riding scenes from Raposo as she’s previously worked on successful action franchises such as Mission: Impossible, Transformers, and A Quiet Place.
Stefano Agosto will also be an executive producer. He chronicled Muhammad Ali‘s life in The Greatest, which he will need to do with the five Fourth Wing books.
Luckily, Yarros and her publisher Liz Pelletier will also be executive producers, so they can steer the film toward what us fans want (and deserve).
Will there be multiple seasons of Fourth Wing?
Yes, there can be multiple seasons of Fourth Wing as Amazon MGM Studios and Outlier Society own all the rights to Yarros’ books (yup, even the ones she hasn’t written yet).
