"it went awfully. According to , Disney is officially making a live-action series based on Eragon, the first book in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle series. The series has been in the works since 2022, but now a creative team is on board including High Potential showrunner Todd Harthan as co-creator and co-showrunner, with Superman & Lois ' Todd Helbing sharing showrunner duties."
"Eragon is very much a young adult series, and it was even written by a young adult - Paolini began writing it after graduating homeschooling at the age of 15. It was a big hit with young readers, but criticism always boiled down to one thing: it's derivative, borrowing elements from The Lord of the Rings, Wizard of Earthsea, and other fantasy worlds."
"The story follows a young boy named Eragon who finds a strange stone that turns out to be a dragon egg. Out from the egg hatches Saphira, a magnificent blue dragon who shares a telepathic link with Eragon. Unfortunately, the evil King Galbatorix will stop at nothing to capture Saphira. It's the classic tale of a young hero plucked from obscurity, but it's hard not to see the parallels to other series,"
Disney+ is developing a live-action adaptation of Eragon, with Todd Harthan and Todd Helbing attached as co-showrunners. Christopher Paolini wrote Eragon at age 15, and the novel became a popular young adult fantasy despite criticism for borrowing elements from established fantasy works. The narrative centers on Eragon, a boy who finds a dragon egg that hatches Saphira, who shares a telepathic bond with him. The evil King Galbatorix seeks Saphira, prompting Eragon to flee after his uncle's murder and to travel with an old man tied to an ancient order, drawing comparisons to Star Wars.
