Tui T. Sutherland's middle grade fantasy book series Wings of Fire has spawned 15 novels, three graphic novels, and four short stories. Now it will be adapted into a family animated television series by Warner Bros. Animation and award-winning writer/director/producer Ava DuVernay.
DuVernay, through her ARRAY Filmworks production company, will serve as executive producer on the series. It will be first animated project as part of her exclusive overall deal with Warner Bros. Dan Milano (Glitch Techs), Christa Starr, Tui T. Sutherland and WBA’s Sam Register (Teen Tians Go!) are also on board as executive producers.
Set in the world ruled entirely by dragons, the Wings of Fire book series follows a group of five young dragons who are prophesized to end a decades long war that has decimating the fictional continents of Pyrrhia and Pantala. Told through varying points of view, the series explores "vicious wars, enduring friendships, and heroic quests that span generations of fascinating dragon characters."
There's no word yet on when production still start or when the series is expected to air.
