Key updates
- State of the Sanderson 2025: Brandon shared a year-in-review-style update in December 2025. He discussed edits on Moment Zero for Tailored Realities, illness that set him back early in the year, and a Hollywood pitch push to bring the Cosmere to studios and streamers. He also hinted at a potential Worldhopper Ball in London tied to a Mistborn Era One theme. This provides a snapshot of his focus areas and upcoming exposure beyond books.[1]
- New and forthcoming projects: In late 2025/early 2026 there were public hints and announcements about ongoing and new high-profile projects, including collaborations and surprise releases. One prominent example reported in 2025 was a collaboration for a Strata Wars trilogy announced to begin in 2026 with Peter Orullian, signaling a broader expansion beyond his Cosmere work.[4]
- Industry coverage and status: Industry coverage in 2025–2026 indicates ongoing interest in Sanderson’s adaptations and multimedia endeavors, including film/TV discussions around The Wheel of Time-adjacent properties and other Cosmere-related adaptations. This reflects continued momentum in film/TV development alongside his novels.[3]
What this means for readers
- Expect continued Cosmere-adjacent media activity (films/TV pitches, potentially more leatherbound editions or companion media) while Sanderson also advances new literary projects, including collaborations outside his core Cosmere universe.[1][4]
- Publication cadence for main Cosmere installments remains a long-term horizon, with public updates emphasizing behind-the-scenes work (edits, worldbuilding, and multimedia collaborations) rather than immediate novel releases.[7][1]
