Wings of Fire (TV show)

Wings of Fire (TV show) was the television adaptation of the Wings of Fire series. It was first announced in 2019, though little was revealed about it. It was under the works of Warner Bros. Animation and was going to be launched on Netflix as a 3D animation. The first season would have been the adaptation of book one and would have contained ten episodes, each being forty minutes long. Ava DuVernay spearheaded the series, while Dan Milano and Christa Starr ran the show; DuVernay, Tui T. Sutherland, Sam Register, Sarah Bremmner, and Justin Ridge worked on executive producing duties. According to IMDB, as of April 2nd, 2022, the show had left "pre-production" and has begun "filming". It was originally given a 2022 release, but the show has been cancelled by Netflix over "creative differences", rather than the costs needed to produce the show.

Director's Note

Within this epic book series from the mind of Tui Sutherland is an elegant saga filled with wisdom and wonder, exploring ideas of belonging and bias, camaraderie and community. On behalf of my colleagues Sarah Bremner and Paul Garnes of ARRAY Filmworks, we're thrilled to partner with Netflix and Warner Bros. Animation for this dynamic adaptation where five young dragonets fulfill their destiny and show viewers how to fulfill their own.

Trivia

• Characters will likely not have inner monologues.
• Tui noted that she wanted to have finished the Wings of Fire story before a TV series is released, because she does not want the ending taken away from her.
