Ava DuVernay and Warner Bros. Animation are developing a high-end serialized animated family television series based on the best-selling book series Wings of Fire, from author Tui T. Sutherland.
The series sold more than nine million copies in print that are available in 16 languages, the Wings of Fire book series is an epic adventure set in a world entirely ruled by dragons. Across two continents and 10 tribes, the series explores vicious wars, enduring friendships and heroic quests that span generations of fascinating dragon characters.
There isn’t a current show runner for the new animated series. Also, Warner Bros. hasn’t announced which network the new animated series will be on but rumors are that it will land on HBO Max to have more content for the new streaming giant. DuVernay is also developing an adaptation of the acclaimed Vertigo comic DMZ for HBO Max as well.
DuVernay is currently producing the OWN/Warner Horizon Scripted Television series Queen Sugar and Cherish the Day, as well as the HBO Max/Warner Bros. Television pilot DMZ, based on characters from DC.
