Apple TV has acquired the rights to adapt Rebecca Yarros‘ (Fourth Wing) new novel Peculiar Stars, and the book isn’t even out yet. Apple still needs a writer for its version — Yarros will executive produce the screen adaptation through her Full Measures Productions banner.
We do know what Peculiar Stars will be about via its logline, which reads, “After a cyclone strands a young woman on a deserted island with a member of her fiancé’s family, survival upends everything she thought she knew about love. But when they’re finally rescued, and re-enter their world of privilege, expectation and secrets, homecoming proves far more dangerous than the island they left behind.”
Peculiar Stars, the novel, is available for pre-order; it publishes in November.
Yarros’ Fourth Wing has an adaptation in the works at Amazon’s Prime Video. That one has been in development for years. Now greenlit, Amazon MGM Studios is producing along with Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society banner. Moira Walley-Beckett (Breaking Bad, Anne With an E) was initially hired as showrunner but left the show last year. Locke & Key co-creator Meredith Averill took over as showrunner in September 2025.
