Starz to Adapt The Wolf King Trilogy with Tanya Saracho

Starz is developing a new romantic fantasy television series based on Lauren Palphreyman's popular book trilogy, "The Wolf King," with "Vida" creator Tanya Saracho set as showrunner. The network announced the project this week, positioning it as a potential successor to its recently concluded hit, "Outlander."

The series will adapt the story of Princess Aurora, who is kidnapped by a powerful werewolf alpha named Callum on the eve of her wedding. Thrust into a brutal war between humans and werewolves, Aurora finds herself in a lethal love triangle and must navigate her new reality, deciding whether she is merely a prize in the conflict or can seize control of her own destiny. The official description states the character uncovers her own wild strength after being abducted from a world that treated her as a decorative pawn.

Starz has secured the rights to all three books in the series: "The Wolf King," originally published in 2023; "The Night Prince," released in 2025; and the forthcoming final installment, "The Wolf Queen," which is scheduled for publication this November. Author Lauren Palphreyman will serve as an executive producer on the adaptation.
