Amazon’s planned TV adaptation of the bestselling fantasy novel Fourth Wing has hit a snag—Moira Walley-Beckett, the acclaimed showrunner behind Anne With an E and a Breaking Bad writer, has stepped away from the project. She’d only been attached since last summer, and her exit leaves a key creative role unfilled as the series, backed by Amazon MGM Studios and Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society, continues development.
Editor’s Note: Showrunner changes can signal behind-the-scenes turbulence, especially for a high-profile adaptation like Fourth Wing, which has a passionate fanbase. Walley-Beckett’s departure might slow things down or hint at creative disagreements—never a great sign this early. For fans eagerly waiting to see the dragon-filled world come to life, it’s a worrying bump in the road.
