THE KINGKILLER CHRONICLE is Looking for a New Home After Showtime Decides to Part Ways

Showtime has decided not to continue forward with The Kingkiller Chronicle series. That’s right, after two years of development, the show no longer has a home. However, Lionsgate is looking for a new home for the series and I don’t know that it’ll be too hard to find someone else to pick it up. Especially with most streamers needing more original content.

The Kingkiller Chronicles is a book series written by Patrick Rothfuss that follows Kvothe as he narrates his life as an adventurer and musician to a scribe. The series consists of The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear with a third book, The Doors of Stone, yet to be released.

The fantasy TV series is supposed to be set a generation before the events of the first book in the series, and it’s been in development for years with Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, Mary Poppins Returns) leading the charge as the creative producer and he will also create the music.

Here’s the description of the series from a press release:

Set in the world of the wildly popular fantasy series by Rothfuss, THE KINGKILLER CHRONICLE will follow a pair of wandering performers on their adventures through the unique and startling world of Temerant, immersing audiences in a universe of unexpected heroes, mystical places, and terrifying dark forces. It is a world that has delighted readers and critics alike, selling more than 10 million copies in 35 languages across the globe.
