"Eragon, Disney+‘s live-action adaptation of Christopher Paolini‘s popular YA book series The Inheritance Cycle, has taken a major step in the development process, firming up its creative team and opening a writers room. High Potential showrunner Todd Harthan has been tapped to co-create the series with Paolini, with Harthan and Todd Helbing (Superman & Lois) set as co-showrunners. Also boarding the project is Marc Webb (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), who has signed on as an executive producer. A writers room for Eragon opened late last year and is currently ongoing. Disney+ sibling — and High Potential producer — 20th Television, where Harthan is under an overall deal, is the studio. The series has been in the works since 2022 when 20th TV and studio-based producer Bert Salke (Percy Jackson and the Olympians), via his Co-Lab 21 banner, optioned the rights to the entire The Inheritance Cycle book series."
Fortunately for them it would take real effort to do worse than the original travesty of an Eragon movie. I have spoken of this before, back in 2022, and so will leave it there and hope for the best.
