Brandon Sanderson Confirms Promising Update on *Mistborn* Film

In a weekly video published on Tuesday, Sanderson discussed the progress on the *Mistborn* film adaptation. According to him, the second draft of the script is 50% complete. He finished the first draft at the end of July—approximately six months after signing an agreement with Apple to adapt several of his novels.

Work on the new version is progressing more slowly than the first, as the writer is simultaneously working on several other books. Another Apple project is a television adaptation of *The Stormlight Archive*. Sanderson is unlikely to be the sole screenwriter for the series and is currently searching for a showrunner. However, based on his statements, work on the scripts has not yet begun, and Apple and the writer are likely prioritizing *Mistborn*.

Sanderson continues to work on his book series as well. The release of *Ghostbloods Book One*, the first book of the third era of *Mistborn*, is scheduled for the end of 2028. The second and third parts of the trilogy are expected to be released in 2029 and 2030, respectively.

After completing *Ghostbloods*, the writer plans to begin releasing the second part of *The Stormlight Archive* around 2031. This will include books six through ten. He intends to write the first two or three books of this cycle in quick succession, then release them every two years.
