Netflix has announced Wings of Fire, an animated series based on a series of bestselling young adult books about a war between dragon tribes.
Ava DuVernay is spearheading the series, which will be made up of 10 x 40 minute episodes chronicling the Dragonets of Destiny; five young dragons prophesied to bring peace back to the war torn world of Pyrrhia.
“Within this epic book series from the mind of Tui Sutherland is an elegant saga filled with wisdom and wonder, exploring ideas of belonging and bias, camaraderie and community,” said DuVernay. “On behalf of my colleagues Sarah Bremner and Paul Garnes of ARRAY Filmworks, we’re thrilled to partner with Netflix and Warner Bros. Animation for this dynamic adaptation where five young dragonets fulfill their destiny and show viewers how to fulfill their own.”
