Kvetha Fricaya! Greetings Friends! For those of you who haven’t seen the news in Deadline or Variety: Disney+ just announced that the long-awaited Eragon television series is officially in development! We’re moving from vision to reality! Christopher is excited to share that he’s working on both writing and producing the show alongside showrunner Todd Harthan and co-showrunner (and writer) Todd Helbing.
Getting to this point was no easy thing. From those initial whispers three-and-a-half years ago when the news leaked that Disney was looking to adapt the series, through countless meetings, revisions, and discussions, Christopher has poured his soul into ensuring this adaptation captures the true heart of the World of Alagaësia.
He wants to thank everyone in this incredible fandom. Without YOU, none of this would be possible. Your letters and messages remind him why this story endures. Christopher and Todd Harthan are seeking to honor this epic adventure while bringing the magic to life in ways only television can. They can’t wait to make a show that you guys love watching!
It’s still a journey—Hollywood’s path is winding—but the momentum is real, and the dragons are stirring. Stay tuned as we move forward!
As the elves would say, “Atra esterní ono thelduin.”

P.S. Do you have any questions you’d like answered about the next steps for the show? More specific details won’t be available just yet, but feel free to submit your questions on Christopher’s social media accounts (X, Instagram, Threads, Facebook, TikTok, Bluesky, YouTube), and we’ll select a few to answer each month!
P.P.S. For our Montana-based fans, you’ll be thrilled to hear that Christopher will be doing an event with up-and-coming author Ryan Cahill in Bozeman, Montana on March 4, 2026 at Barnes & Noble. (There might just be some lightsaber battles to be had!) We’ll have more details in the near future on the Events page, but mark your calendars in the meantime.
