While hunting in the mountains, Eragon (Ed Speleers), a 17-year-old farm boy, stumbles upon a large blue dragon’s egg, which has been magically transported there by the elvan warrior Arya (Sienna Guillory).
Then they were betrayed by one of their own, Galbatorix (John Malkovich), who slaughtered all of the dragon riders along with their dragons before proclaiming himself King of Alagaesia. While that series has announced some of its key cast members already, it’s unlikely to debut until late 2023 or 2024, which means that Eragon is likely even further off - if it gets picked up by the streaming service at all.For thousands of years, dragon riders maintained peace in the kingdom of Alagaesia. This series also seems to continue Disney’s trend of adapting popular YA book franchises for Disney Plus, as it’s already announced an upcoming adaptation of the Percy Jackson series. The film starred, among others, Jeremy Irons ( Watchmen), Rachel Weisz ( Black Widow), and John Malkovich ( The New Pope), but failed to catch on with audiences. This would be the second time that Eragon got an adaptation, with the first being a feature film made in 2006 - which also happens to be streaming on Disney Plus at the moment. Paolini will join the series as a co-writer along with executive producer Bert Salke ( Percy Jackson). He and Saphira go on an adventure to save the Kingdom of Alegaësia which was once prosperous but has been brought to ruin by the evil king Galbatorix. The series follows a boy named Eragon who finds a magical dragon egg that hatches into a dragon named Saphira. For now, the series is only in early development, which still means it might not move forward. The streaming service has plans to adapt the entire Inheritance Cycle, which was written by Christopher Paolini, as a TV series, according to a report from Variety. Eragon, the first book in the young adult series The Inheritance Cycle, is getting a Disney Plus adaptation.
