Brandon Sanderson's acclaimed sci-fi novel 'Skyward' is being adapted into a television series by Tomorrow Studios, known for their work on 'One Piece' and 'Let The Right One In'. Sanderson will write the pilot alongside Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen, both of whom have notable credits including 'Dollhouse' and 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'. In a statement, Sanderson expressed his excitement about collaborating with Tomorrow Studios, stating, 'I’ve been working on the Skyward series for nearly a decade, and to have a partner like Tomorrow Studios to help bring this story to television is a dream come true.' The series will follow Spensa, a teenage pilot determined to fight against the Krell, an alien species attacking her planet. While 'Skyward' is the first installment in Sanderson's larger Cytoverse, the TV adaptation will focus on this initial book. This year has been significant for Sanderson, as Apple TV also acquired the rights to his entire Cosmere universe, which he compares to the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). However, details regarding the network or streaming service for 'Skyward' have yet to be announced.
