‘The Witcher’ & ‘Wheel Of Time’ Producers Partner On ‘Otherland’ TV Adaptation Based On Tad Williams Books Series

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.

robertranck,

@ rainbow friendsI am a Witcher book fan. I was overall impressed with season one of the show. I know there were some changes, but it was still really well done. Then season two dropped and it ruined everything. Didn’t even watch season 3.

Then with wheel of time I finished the first season. Didn’t watch the second. They completely destroyed everything and turned it into a whodunnit. We know who the dragon is in the first two chapters of the book. But don’t find out until the end of the first season. The writing was bad, the acting was mediocre, the special effects were bad, the fight scenes looked like a highschool theatre put them on. The whole notion that the dragon could be a woman really pisses on the original story because there were two versions of the power and the thing that made the dragon special was that men who could channel were unstable and usually died fast.

CannedTuna,

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.

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

spacecowboy,

I wonder if this series will be butchered too.

NinePeedles,

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