Cosmere fans are absolutely losing their minds right now. Brandon Sanderson has just signed what’s being described as an unprecedented deal with Apple TV—and it could change fantasy television forever.

Studios have been fighting over Sanderson’s books for years, but Apple didn’t just show up with money. They showed up with trust. Reports suggest Sanderson is being given an extraordinary level of creative control, the kind most authors only dream of when their work gets adapted.

The first world Apple has its eyes on is Mistborn. A brutal, ash-covered empire ruled by an immortal God Emperor. A crew of thieves planning the impossible. Metal-fuelled magic, rebellion, prophecy, and some of the most cinematic action fantasy has to offer.

And this is just the beginning.

With over twenty interconnected Cosmere novels waiting in the wings, Apple isn’t just betting on a show—they’re betting on an entire universe. If this is handled right, with Sanderson at the wheel, we may be watching the birth of the next great fantasy franchise.

The kind that doesn’t just compete with the giants—but replaces them.
