Platige Image (The Witcher) and Mount Devil, together with The Wheel of Time’s executive producer Mike Weber, are in the works on a TV series based on Otherland, the 4-book series by Tad Williams.

Otherland (the books and its TV adaptation) is described as “an epic cyberpunk-fantasy adventure.” The summary reads, “The world as we know it has an additional layer here – hyper-realistic VR arenas that have become a new place for fun, work, education but also debauchery, crime and abuse. The mysterious Otherland, supposedly another layer of the network, becomes a mere starting point for a multi-realm adventure.

The producers of the Witcher TV show have found a new book series to absolutely ruin.

I wonder if this series will be butchered too.

The Witcher went off the goddamn rails and Wheel of Time was just awful.

Ah great. I can’t wait for another TV where the producers base the plot of the show entirely off the book’s cover art.
