My biggest worry about a TV series would be keeping viewership up for the 7+ seasons minimum it would take to tell the whole story. It would really suck to get two seasons and then have the thing get cancelled.

If you cut the unnecessary BS from the story, it's probably less actual content than A Song of Ice and Fire has been.

The mistake there was adapting that crapfest in the first place.

This. First couple books were good, then it went so crap. They really didn't have anything to ruin

I think this will all come down to which "Major" studio gets this.

I would trust a few to try and do it right and commit to it but most I would not. My fingers crossed for the perfect fit.

Let's get some sort of contribution onto that production so we get the Mud on the credits!

This happened with some other movie. Lord of the Rings!

I legit can't wait for the Cosmere books to get adapted about 50 years from now. Mistborn and Stormlight would be amazing, but also probably expensive as hell. Hopefully Patrick Rothfuss finishes a draft of the third KingKiller book by around that time.

Seriously, what is Rothfuss even up to?
