Forget 'Fourth Wing,' This Flawless Fantasy Masterpiece Deserves a Streaming TV Adaptation

Collider argues that Holly Black’s *The Folk of the Air* trilogy — rather than the more widely discussed *Fourth Wing* — deserves a high‑budget streaming adaptation. The series blends political intrigue, morally complex faerie courts, and a slow‑burn romance, elements that have proven bankable in the wake of *Game of Thrones* and *The Rings of Power*.

With Ronald D. Moore already developing Sarah J. Maas’s *A Court of Thorns and Roses*, the article positions *Folk of the Air* as a superior alternative for studios seeking a fresh fantasy IP. The piece outlines why its narrative structure and built‑in fanbase could translate into a hit series. Full arguments and series comparisons are available on Collider.
