It’s been four months since Onyx Storm’s release, and the buzz for it is still going strong. That’s not surprising, though, considering it became the fastest-selling adult novel in 20 years after the first week of its release. However, what is surprising is the lack of information we have about the book-to-screen adaptation Fourth Wing that Amazon is working on
Onyx Storm Is The Fastest Selling Adult Novel In 20 Years
When Onyx Storm was released NYT
For reference, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Onyx Storm’s numbers aren’t the biggest. However, they are incredibly impressive, especially in the realm of adult fiction. To prove that point, the last novel to set this record was Colleen Hoover’s sequel to It Ends With Us , It Starts With Us , which sold 810,000 copies in the first week. And as you know, the difference between 2.7 million and 810,000 is huge.
It’s also worth noting that as of right now, four months after its release, Onyx Storm is currently No. 3 on The New York Times Best Sellers List Fourth Wing sits at No. 8.
Meanwhile, Onyx Storm is still on Amazon’s Best Sellers in Books
So, considering all the impressive numbers that show just how wildly popular this series is, it makes me wonder what’s going on with the television series.
So, What’s The Hold Up On The Fourth Wing TV Series?
The answer to that question, as far as we know, is nothing. I’m sure the Fourth Wing team is hard at work behind the scenes. However, when it comes to public information about it, we don’t know anything, really.
Back in March, Rebecca Yarros posted a photo with an Amazon sign Onyx Storm, she also voiced her enthusiasm for the show and what she’s read so far (per ABC ), but did not give away any details beyond that.
These small public updates make me think big steps are maybe being taken behind the scenes. However, it’s a bit odd to me that we don’t know anything about anything yet, considering just how popular Onyx Storm is. I would have assumed they’d want to hop on the hype train and give us some sort of update about casting, production or even where they’re at in the writers’ room. However, all that is still a big question mark.
I’d rather they take their time to make something magnificent, though, so I’m fine with waiting. I’m also just curious why we haven’t gotten any solid updates yet.
Now, in the meantime, while we wait, fans have been fan-casting Xaden Dylan Efron also talked Fourth Wing recently, explaining that he doesn’t want to play Dain. As you can see, there’s a hunger from fans for answers about who will play the beloved riders on screen. So, hopefully, we get some news sooner rather than later.
However, for now, they’ll just have to keep fan-casting, dreaming about the possibilities, and reading these wildly popular books.
