Ridley Scott & Amazon Are Teaming To Adapt Bestselling 6-Book Fantasy Franchise

Amazon Studios is collaborating with Ridley Scott’s production company to transform Holly Black’s acclaimed Folk of the Air book series into a television franchise. This adaptation will cover a six-book saga set in the treacherous world of Elfhame, featuring a mortal protagonist navigating a landscape of political deception and dangerous faerie courts. The project benefits from the author’s direct involvement as a producer, ensuring the show maintains the moral complexity and dark atmosphere found in the original novels. By securing this high-profile intellectual property, Amazon aims to expand its fantasy portfolio with a story renowned for its enemies-to-lovers romance and ruthless world-building. This partnership signals a prestige approach to young adult material, leveraging Scott Free’s visual expertise to bring the ethereal yet brutal setting to life for a global streaming audience.
