Ava Duvernay is developing a series based on the Wings Of Fire books. She and Tui T. Sutherland (who worked on the books) will be executive producers alongside Sam Register, Dan Milano (co-creator of Glitch Techs), Justin Ridge, and Christa Starr.

"If you haven’t read any of the Wings of Fire series, the multi-continental books initially focus on the differing PO Vs of a group of five young dragons who are prophesized to end a decades long war that has decimated the fictional lands of Pyrrhia and Pantala."

I love these books though I'm behind since I'm following the paperbacks and those are behind. Doesn't say if this is an adaptation or a spinoff but if it is an adaptation, I hope it does the books justice.

Ah, good, if it gets on Netflix it may not have to be watered down very much, considering what all can happen.

I just hope it's good.

I'm surprised to read that it'll be a ten, 40-minute episode series. It's a stretch, but wonder if Invincible had a hand in some studios being more comfortable with longer animated episodes, at the sacrifice of shorter seasons?

I'm also surprised that this is going to be produced by Warner Bros. Animation, as I figured they would try and get all of their productions on HBO Max no matter what.

There's been a number of good cartoons put on Netflix lately, so they're likely following the trend.

And I imagine this series will only cover the first trilogy of books.

[up][up]Maybe the show was in production before HBO Max came out and could only come out on whatever service it was originally greenlit for. To give an example, the 2020 Animaniacs would've most definitely been on HBO Max, but I would assume the original series doing well on Hulu when the new series was in production is what caused it to go there. I'm just guessing though.

Plus, there's Green Eggs and Ham (2019) on Netflix, and that's also from Warner Brothers.

Hm. Do we think this season might adapt the entire first arc (So books one through five.)? I feel like there's enough time to do so. The books are pretty fast paced for the most part so I think two episodes per book makes sense provided they don't stretch things out.

Yeah, the first series with the Dragonets is probably going to be the entire show (or first season?) and they could do other arcs for later seasons. This could end up three seasons if they do a season for each trilogy.

Lila Martinez's Linked In profile said how she worked on the show as a storyboard artist. She's worked as a storyboard artist on projects like The Simpsons and American Dad. While her material hasn't come out yet, she's also worked on Harley Quinn, The Chicken Squad, Batwheels, and Firebuds.
