An epic fantasy series is being rebooted by Disney. A live-action TV series based on ”Eragon” is in early development at Disney+
Disney+ is pushing the series into development with franchise creator Christopher Paolini serving as co-showrunner and writer of the project. Paolini will lead a writer’s room alongside another co-showrunner. Eragon is the first book in Paolini’s The Inheritance Cycle, a series with four novels and a collection of short stories.

According to Variety, Paolini will serve as co-writer on the series. Bert Salke will executive produce under his Co-Lab 21 banner, with 20th Television producing. Salke is currently under an overall deal with Disney Television Studios, of which 20th TV is a part.
Eragon will mark the second remake of a beloved Young Adult series that Disney+ has opted to tackle. After a years-long development process, a live-action Percy Jackson and the Olympians series began principal photography earlier this year.
