It’s an unprecedented deal for the author, whose ‘Mistborn’ series and ‘The Stormlight Archive’ are being eyed for film and television adaptation, respectively.

From the Hollywood Reporter comes some fantastic news for Brandon Sanderson fans. It seems Apple has secured the rights to the Cosmere books and is beginning to explore adaptations of Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive series.

What’s even better is that Sanderson will retain creative control over the adaptations.

I’m a big fan of The Stormlight Archive, and given how well Apple has adapted other books, I have high hopes for this project.

There’s no word yet on when filming might begin or when the series will be released.
