“Fourth Wing”: Everything we know about the film adaptation of the bestseller of Rebecca Yarros
Who only a second onWas on the way, it comes on the"Kissed flame"-Series (in English:"Empyrean") not by Rebecca Yarros. The title“Fourth Wing”,“Iron Flame” and “Onyx Storm” since January 2025 can be found on every Romantasy fan on the bookshelf. Incidentally, Romantasy is a subgenre that has arisen from the combination of fantasy and romance. Romantasy is one of the most popular genres of today and always makes it onto the bestseller list. So also any novels from the “flame kissed” series.
Already after the first success book, Amazon promised: There will be a series! The author herself will be involved in the production - and has probably already seen the script. You can find out everything else we know about the film adaptation here!
What is “Fourth Wing” about?
Here are smaller spoilers for the plot around “Fouth Wing”.
We are in a fantasy world: dragons, four different “houses” and magic. Sounds after- But the books couldn't be more different. “Fourth Wing” is about Violet Sorrengail, who actually preferred to live a quiet life as scribes, but is forced to go to a kind of military school because of her strict mother to become a dragon rider.
The BASGIAD War College has brutal training for the dragon riders: inside, where not even half of all students survive in the first year. You have to tie yourself to a kite - and they don't want weak people. Violet itself seems small and fragile, but she can still prevail - even if many stones are put in the way. The biggest stone: Xaden Riorson. He is one of the most powerful (and superior) squadron guides - and this is exactly what she is assumed.
We all know how this story will end (Spoiler: Enemies to Lovers).
Who plays the main roles of “Fourth Wing”?
Unfortunately, nothing about the leading roles is officially known.
But a name occurs particularly often in the entire Tikoks and Instagram videos to the series. And that's even a German.Emilio Sakraya,the one maybe from “Bibi & Tina”, the others may be more offknow the main character Xaden. And there are also some hints for that.
Emilio Sakraya is on the road a lot in the gym. This is not a surprise if he hadn't posted a small dragon emoji under his Instagram post. His comment column has exploded with people who immediately call him their “wingleader” (of course an allusion to Xaden, the squadron guide).
But not only that: he also follows the author on Instagram - is that a sign? In any case, fans seem to think that way. He has been one of the favorites for fan casting on Tikok for weeks.
But another person is also in the race - when it comes to fans. “Dune: Prophecy” actor Josh Heuston also looks pretty similar to the ideas of the fans of Xaden. And he too has oneDragon emojiin his Instagram bio. What's going on there?
For the main actress, the fans would like to have Josephine Langford, whom we already know from the “After Passion” films. And the name Danielle Rose Russell also falls more and more because she already played a strong woman character in the “Legacies” series.
Only one person is officially known: the show runner. This will be Moira Walley-Beckett, who has already worked on “Breaking Bad” and “Anne with an E”.
How many seasons will there be from “Fourth Wing”?
It is likely that it will not only stay with a season. There are already three books - and five are planned. With the studios, of course, it always depends on how the series finds the series: inside. Since the latest novel in the USA was the fastest -selling novel for adults in the past 20 years, you can hope for a loyal fan base - and thus for some seasons.
When does the “Fourh Wing” series come on Amazon?
When the series should appear on Amazon is still unknown. At a party for the release of the third part “Onyx Storm”, the author Rebecca Yarros revealed that she had already seen two versions of the script and that she was thrilled.
Even if the script is already finished, it still has to be shot and we assume that the fantasy adaptation will have an elaborate post-production. The dragons will probably not swing over the screen themselves. According to rumors, the 2026 series should already appear.
