Esther McGregor and Emilio Sakraya are set to star in the small-screen adaptation of Rebecca Yarros’ hit romantasy novel “Fourth Wing” when it lands on Prime Video, industry outlets reported Thursday.
According to Deadline, Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, McGregor, who is the daughter of Scottish actor Ewan McGregor and appears in Prime Video’s mystery drama “We Were Liars,” will play protagonist Violet Sorrengail — an unassuming scholar who hopes to graduate as a historian but is forced to become a dragon rider by her ruthless army general mother.
German actor Sakraya, who starred alongside Anthony Hopkins in Peacock’s Roman gladiator saga “Those About to Die,” will reportedly take on the role of Xaden Riorson. As fearsome as he is ambitious, Xaden is determined to join the ranks as an elite dragon rider.
In Yarros’ novel, the pair are the antithesis of one another, making for a classic enemies-to-lovers arc as they battle their way through the tyrannous Basgiath War College where there are only two ways to leave: graduate or die.
CNN has reached out to Amazon MGM Studios, which has yet to confirm the rumored casting.
Published in 2023, “Fourth Wing” is the first of Yarros’ Empyrean series, which is set to run to five books. So far, three volumes have been published — selling millions of copies worldwide.
Book lovers took to the internet Friday to have their say on the rumored castings.

“I’m squinting and I can kind of see the vision,” widely followed social media book reviewer Kaila Anttila, who posts as Kaila Books , said in a Instagram video. “Prime… they never let us down,” she added.
Actor and creator Joel Wood also weighed in : “Violet’s not blonde,” Wood said, pointing at an image of McGregor sporting a short blonde cut.
“But I know we can fix that,” he added, before explaining, “I’m not loving it, but I’m not hating it.”
Others expressed greater excitement at the prospect of McGregor and Sakraya stepping into the roles.
“I know I speak for many people when I say: The biggest congratulations to these two,” Nicole Holleman, one of the hosts of the Fantasy Fangirls Podcast, said in a video — before squealing excitedly.
She followed up with another short video encouraging fans to be “open minded” about casting.
据业内媒体周四报道，埃丝特·麦格雷戈和埃米利奥·萨克拉亚将主演根据丽贝卡·亚罗斯的热门浪漫奇幻小说《第四翼》改编的电视剧，该剧将在亚马逊Prime Video上线。
据 Deadline、Variety 和 The Hollywood Reporter 报道，麦格雷戈是苏格兰演员伊万·麦格雷戈的女儿，她出演了 Prime Video 的悬疑剧《我们曾是骗子》，她将饰演主角维奥莱特·索伦盖尔——一位谦逊的学者，希望毕业成为一名历史学家，但却被她冷酷无情的陆军将军母亲强迫成为一名驯龙高手。
据报道，曾在Peacock电视台的罗马角斗士传奇剧集《那些即将死去的人》（Those About to Die）中与安东尼·霍普金斯搭档出演的德国演员萨克拉亚将出演泽登·里奥森一角。泽登既凶猛又野心勃勃，他决心跻身精英龙骑士之列。
在亚罗斯的小说中，这对情侣性格截然相反，他们一路战斗，最终在专制的巴斯吉亚斯战争学院中走到一起，由此展开了一段经典的冤家变情人的故事。在那里，只有两条路可以离开：要么毕业，要么死亡。
CNN已联系亚马逊米高梅影业，但两家公司尚未证实传闻中的选角消息。
《第四翼》于2023年出版，是亚罗斯“天界”系列的第一部，该系列计划共五部。目前已出版三部，全球销量达数百万册。
周五，书迷们纷纷上网，对传闻中的选角发表了自己的看法。

“我眯着眼睛，勉强能看到画面，”在社交媒体上拥有众多粉丝的书评人凯拉·安蒂拉（Kaila Anttila，网名Kaila Books）在一段Instagram视频中说道。“亚马逊Prime……他们从没让我们失望过，”她补充道。
演员兼创作者乔尔·伍德也发表了看法：“维奥莱特不是金发女郎，”伍德指着麦格雷戈留着金色短发的照片说道。
“但我知道我们可以解决这个问题，”他补充道，然后解释说，“我不是喜欢它，但我也不是讨厌它。”
其他人则对麦格雷戈和萨克拉亚担任这些角色的前景表示更加兴奋。
“我知道我代表很多人说：衷心祝贺这两位，”奇幻粉丝播客的主持人之一妮可·霍勒曼在一段视频中说道——然后兴奋地尖叫起来。
随后她又发布了一段短视频，鼓励粉丝们对选角保持“开放的心态”。
