The fantasy author continues to make fast progress on the Apple adaptation

Another week means another update from prolific author Brandon Sanderson. One of the best things about the man behind the expansive Cosmere universe of novels is that he is an open book (pun intended) when it comes to giving updates on the many projects he is actively working on. More recently, these weekly dispatches have included news on Apple's live-action adaptations of Sanderson's work. This week was no different.

In his weekly update video on Tuesday, Sanderson started off by sharing progress reports on key projects. When discussing the script for the Mistborn film adaptation, which the author is penning himself, he revealed that the second draft is now at 50% completion. Sanderson finished the first draft of the script at the end of July, just six months after signing an unprecedented deal with Apple to adapt a number of his novels. While that means work on the second draft has been a little slower than the first, Sanderson is also tied up in writing several other novels.

A project that the author hasn't shared much information about is the television adaptation of The Stormlight Archive, also at Apple. Sanderson has said he likely won't handle writing duties alone for that project, and shared he's actively on the hunt for a showrunner to helm the series. Still, it doesn't seem like work on any scripts has begun, and Apple and Sanderson appear to have prioritized Mistborn.
