From scifi.com:
Sam Raimi's syndicated original fantasy TV series Wizard's First Rule is set to debut in all of the top 50 markets in the United States, Variety reported.Personally I think the series should have been called "The Sword of Truth", seeing as "Wizard's First Rule" is only one book. Maybe TPTB won't be adapting the other books . . .?
The ABC/Disney show, based on the Sword of Truth books by Terry Goodkind, has received a green light for 22 episodes and will begin production in May.
The weekly hourlong series follows Richard Cypher, a young man who makes his living leading people through dangerous forests, as he investigates the murder of his father and finds himself opposing Darken Rahl, the son of an evil wizard.
Goodkind's popular novels, first published in the mid-'90s, span 11 volumes so far. Wizard's First Rule will be shot in high-definition video.
I'm just excited that Sam and Rob are doing another fantasy series.
