Terry Brooks’ Shannara series is headed to the small screen

It’s a good time for fantasy at the movies and television, and finally, it looks like that Terry Brooks’ Shannara series might be coming to your TV screen. I read the first two books when I was a kid, but I can barely remember a thing about them. So there’s my two cents.

Variety talked with the concerned parties about the production:

Brooks said:

“Partnering with Sonar Entertainment and Farah Films on adapting the ‘Shannara’ saga for television is an exciting prospect. Everything about both companies suggests the result will be one that both old and new fans of the books will readily embrace. I am committed to doing everything I can to help make this happen.”

Sonar Entertainment CEO Stewart Till:

“Terry Brooks appeals to a huge and diverse cross-section of audiences throughout the world. There is an enormous desire to see ‘Shannara’ brought to life for television. We know this is going to be a terrific series that will both delight longtime fans and attract legions of new devotees.”

Farah Films principal Dan Farah:

“Terry has created a rich world of characters and stories that have entertained millions of readers all around the world for a quarter of a century. He has a built-in fanbase that is bigger than those for even the most recent hit book series, like ‘The Hunger Games.’ We’re very excited and proud to have the opportunity to partner with Terry in adapting his great work for the smallscreen.”
