The Opportunity

Epic fantasy remains a major force in both books and media. Amazon’s “The Rings of Power” is one of the most expensive TV series ever produced, with a budget exceeding $700 million. Its adaptation of Robert Jordan’s “The Wheel of Time” continues to attract viewers, reflecting the genre’s lasting appeal.

Netflix has invested in series like “The Witcher” and “Shadow and Bone,” while HBO’s “House of the Dragon” set records as the network’s most-watched premiere.

In publishing, Brandon Sanderson is delivering on his record-breaking Kickstarter campaign, having successfully shipped all four secret novels to over 185,000 backers, following a fundraising total of more than $41.7 million—the most-funded project in Kickstarter history.
