“SHIELD,” “One Piece” Team Set “Skyward” Series

TV writer-producers Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen (“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”) and Tomorrow Studios, the indie production company behind Netflix’s live-action “One Piece” TV series, are planning a “Skyward” TV series.

Brandon Sanderson’s “Skyward” (aka. Cytoverse) franchise is a sci-fi book series in which humanity is trapped on a harsh planet and constantly under attack by mysterious alien forces.

We follow Spensa Nightshade, a determined pilot who dreams of joining the fighter corps to defend humanity and redeem her disgraced father’s legacy.

The result blends aerial combat, advanced technology and themes like identity and courage. Tomorrow Studios’ CEO/Partner Marty Adelstein and President/Partner Becky Clements say in a statement:

“Brandon has created a thrilling universe where courage, curiosity and determination to challenge what we think can change the fate of entire worlds. The vision that he, Jed and Maurissa have for a television adaptation is ‘defiant to the end’.”

Sanderson has sold more than 50 million books to date.
