Writer John Rogers Has Finished Writing The First Season Of SHOWTIME’S Kingkiller Chronicle Adaptation

Now that the Game of Thrones has ended and it’s been settled who will rule Westeros, fans of the show look for something to feel the void. While the world of George R.R. Martin will live on in the form of prequels and spinoffs, there are a handful of franchises that are top prospects to be adpated and possibly give nerds their new fix. One such series headed our way, The Kingkiller Chronicle, has completed the writing for the show’s first season.

The upcoming adaptation will air on SHOWTIME and will be a prequel to the popular books written by author Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind or The Wise Man’s Fear. Rothfuss is currently working on a third entry into the series titled The Doors of Stone. Series writer John Rogers posted the show’s status update on his Twitter account, you can check them out below.

Oscar nominated musician Lin-Manuel Miranda will executive produce The Kingkiller Chronicle and as you can see from his tweet below, he’s already hard at work.

The fantasy series follows the story of Kvothe, an adventurous bard and sonneteer. Much of the story is Kvothe recounting his escapades to a scribe. While I haven’t read the books, I have a trusted advisor on these matters, a high-ranking (at least in my administration) nerd buddy who is a bookreader and he has sung the praises of this series for sometime now. He often tells me about novel series that could make for excellent television series. He read A Song of Ice and Fire long before it was even a thought at HBO, and he tells me Kingkiller has the potetial to be the next phenomenon.
