News Brandon Sanderson Brandon Sanderson to Write Mistborn Movie Script and Co-Showrun Stormlight Archive Series In a recently released video, the author shares details on his new deal with Apple TV By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on February 3, 2026 Screenshot: Brandon Sanderson YT channel Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Brandon Sanderson YT channel Last week, we found out that Brandon Sanderson made a deal with Apple TV to adapt his Mistborn and Stormlight Archive novels, with Sanderson keeping significant control over the projects. Today, we got more news from Sanderson himself. In a new video, the author explained why he went with Apple—he liked the vibes, he liked that he would have more control over the projects, and that the “partnership felt right”—and gave some additional details on the adaptation of Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive series. Sanderson confirmed that the current plan is for Mistborn to be a feature film on Apple TV, and that Stormlight will be developed as a “premium cable streaming show.” Sanderson will be writing the screenplay for Mistborn and is currently focused on that full-time, with a summer deadline to turn in a script to Apple. (That means a new percentage bar on his website, where he’s currently at two percent for the script.) Sanderson will also be a co-showrunner on the Stormlight show with someone yet-to-be-determined. It seems that Mistborn, however, is first on the docket. “This feels really different this time,” he said. “I think this one is really going to happen.” There’s still a long way to go—Sanderson confirmed that we won’t see anything on the screen next year—but it’s a step in the right direction for Sanderson fans. And as for his other projects? Sanderson did say that it would impact his writing schedule, but that Mistborn: Ghostbloods is still on track for a 2028 release and that he had already built in this time for the next Stormlight book, so that timeline is currently the same as well. Overall, however, it sounds like Sanderson is optimistic about his new partnership with Apple, and that the odds are better than they’ve been before that we might get to see a screen adaptation of Mistborn and Stormlight at some point in the future.
