Disney+, based on the young adult fantasy series by Christopher Paolini entitled The Inheritance Cycle, has made a significant move in the production pipeline for Eragon, with a solidification of the creative team and the opening of a writers room.
Todd Harthan, showrunner of Disney+ series High Potential, has been brought on board as a co-creator with Paolini, with Harthan and Todd Helbing (Superman & Lois) serving as co-showrunners. Marc Webb (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) has also come on board as an executive producer.
The writers room for Eragon opened late last year and is still ongoing.
Disney+, as a sibling network to 20th Television, which is producing Eragon under a deal with producer Bert Salke’s Co-Lab 21 banner, has Eragon in production under an option deal signed with 20th TV and producer Bert Salke in 2022 for the entire The Inheritance Cycle series of books.
The series is planned to tackle each book with each season. This is something Disney+ is doing with their Percy Jackson & The Olympians series, which is currently filming in Vancouver.
