Fear not Game of Thrones fans! Hulu is bringing you another dragon epic.
The streaming service is making its first foray into the world of Stephen King, adapting for television his 1984 novel The Eyes of the Dragon.
The magical epic follows two boys who are next in line to rule the realm of Delain after the death of their dragon-slaying father.
The pilot was penned by Lego Batman Movie writer, Ghrahame-Smith. Smith is the first episode’s showrunner, and together with his KatzSmith Productions partner David Katzenberg, he serves as executive producer.
“I am so excited to be working in the world of Stephen King with with Hulu, which has such a terrific track record with Stephen King adaptations,” Grahame-Smith told Deadline. “The goal for this series is to feel unlike any Stephen King adaptation before, with this rich underlying source material, and the only true fantasy book he wrote that has kings and swords and princesses. We will honor the spirit of the book and the legacy.”
The project follows a line of forthcoming adaptations of King’s works, including Pet Sematary, and It: Chapter Two.
