[edit]In June 2021, fans of the book series and tweeted #EragonRemake in an effort to get Disney, the intellectual rights holders following their acquisition of 21st Century Fox, to revamp the book series into a possible television show for Disney+. Within hours, the hashtag began to trend with fans pushing for a proper adaptation. When Paolini found out about this movement, he encouraged the fans to keep at it and even joined it himself.[1]
On July 25, 2022, Variety reported that a live action television series adaptation of Eragon was in early development for Disney+, with Paolini serving as a co-writer on the series, and with Bert Salke executive producing.[2] In September 2023, Christopher Paolini confirmed the annoucement was unplanned, suggesting a source leaked the information.[3]
In August 2023, the author confirmed that the show is "on pause" due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike.[4]
