Introduction

Prime Video will make a TV show from the books by Rebecca Yarros. The first book is called Fourth Wing.

Main Body

Meredith Averill is the new leader of the show. Lisa Joy will direct the first episode. The author, Rebecca Yarros, is also helping the team. The studio does not have the actors yet.
