DESCRIPTION:
(from Showtime's press release, October 2017) SHOWTIME is developing a television series adaptation of THE KINGKILLER CHRONICLE, executive produced by Pulitzer Prize, Tony, Grammy(R) and Emmy Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), with acclaimed producer John Rogers (Leverage, The Player) serving as showrunner. Miranda will also compose music for the series, which is based on Patrick Rothfuss's global bestselling contemporary fantasy trilogy. Produced by Lionsgate, THE KINGKILLER CHRONICLE will be executive produced by Rogers, Miranda, Rothfuss, Robert Lawrence (Clueless, Die Hard with a Vengeance) and Jennifer Court (The Player). Set in the world of the wildly popular fantasy series by Rothfuss, THE KINGKILLER CHRONICLE will follow a pair of wandering performers on their adventures through the unique and startling world of Temerant, immersing audiences in a universe of unexpected heroes, mystical places, and terrifying dark forces. It is a world that has delighted readers and critics alike, selling more than 10 million copies in 35 languages across the globe. The television adaption is a subversive origin story of legendary proportions set a generation before the events of the trilogy's first novel, The Name of the Wind. |
