FremantleMedia North America (FMNA), with Random House Studio, has struck up a partnership with the best-selling fantasy novelist Brandon Sanderson.<\/p>\n
Sanderson’s Dark One<\/em> property is being adapted into a multimedia experience, including a TV series and a graphic novel that will be published by Vault Comics. Sanderson is also penning a supplementary, multi-volume book series that will expand on the storyline from the show and further explore subsidiary characters. A Dark One<\/em> podcast will shed further light on the incidents leading up to where the TV series will begin.<\/p>\n Dark One<\/em> will be a dramatic fantasy adventure spotlighting a young man who sees visions of strange and fantastical worlds, which he is told are just hallucinations. But this dark and deadly fantasy world that keeps coming to him is actually a real vision of another world\u2014one where he has been prophesied to become a tyrant and destroy this land of interesting creatures, sporadic electrical currents and a darkening landscape.<\/p>\n Sanderson commented: \u201cI\u2019m used to painting a picture in words. Dark One<\/em> came to life when I freed myself to think of it as a project for actual visual media, with the setting, characters and outline all coming together. I\u2019m excited to be able to partner with FremantleMedia North America and Random House Studio on this for television.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBrandon Sanderson is a powerful storyteller and one of the world\u2019s most admired fantasy writers,\u201d said Dante Di Loreto, president of scripted entertainment at FremantleMedia North America. \u201cThe narrative of Dark One<\/em> will examine the dual roles we often take on in life\u2014the ability to be a savior as well as a destroyer, and this innovative creative partnership with Brandon will serve as a catalyst for deepening the connection between him and his many fans.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBrandon Sanderson is one of the most exciting storytellers within the enormous group of authors published by the Penguin Random House group,\u201d said Peter Gethers, executive VP and general manager at Random House Studio. \u201cWe are thrilled to be working with him to create one of his extraordinary worlds for a television audience for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FremantleMedia North America (FMNA), with Random House Studio, has struck up a partnership with the best-selling fantasy novelist Brandon Sanderson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":9573,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1007],"class_list":["post-9572","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-fremantlemedia-north-america","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
