Those are going to be some unnecessarily long episodes and seasons.

This pretty much the best case scenario for anyone that wants a cosmere adaptation. Apple TV stuff is budgeted like its an exec’s pet project because they make back the money on like half a year sales of iphone charging bricks.
Mistborn is set for film while Stormlight is set for TV which makes sense I think.

“Could the next great fantasy screen franchise be here? Apple TV believes so.
The streaming giant has closed what has been described as an unprecedented deal to land the rights to the Cosmere books, the fictional literary universe by fantasy author Brandon Sanderson.
The first titles being eyed for adaptation are the *Mistborn* series, for features, and *The Stormlight Archive* series, for television.
The latter already has producers involved: Blue Marble, run by former WME agent Theresa Kang, is attached to executive produce *The Stormlight Archive* television adaptation.
The deal is rare one, coming after a competitive situation which saw Sanderson meet with most of the studio heads in town. It gives the author rarefied control over the screen translations, according to sources. Sanderson will be the architect of the universe, will write, produce and consult, and have approvals. That’s a level of involvement that not even J.K. Rowling or George R.R. Martin enjoy.”
