Showtime has announced they’ve picked up the previously in-development The Kingkiller Chronicle TV series, which has Pulitzer Prize, Tony, Grammy and Emmy Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda attached to executive produce.
As previously announced, Robert Lawrence (Clueless, Die Hard with a Vengeance), who has been involved in The Kingkiller Chronicle series since its earliest days, will produce for film and television.
The Kingkiller Chronicle is a collaborative franchise from Lionsgate that includes a television series adaption, a major feature film and interactive games all being developed concurrently.
The film script, which is being penned by writer Lindsey Beer (Transformers: The Last Knight, Dungeons & Dragons), will be based on the first book, The Name of the Wind.
