Apple TV has quietly become one of the most popular streaming services in the world. It may not yet match some of the other streaming goliaths in terms of its subscriber numbers, but the platform has some of the best original movies and TV shows you can find on any service. It’s been a big year for Apple TV already, which is riding high while watching two successful shows, Shrinking and Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, duke it out at the top of streaming charts. The fifth season of For All Mankind, the hit sci-fi series starring Joel Kinnaman, has also made a successful return to streaming in the last few weeks. Apple TV’s most popular movie right now is F1, the Brad Pitt-led blockbuster that even earned a nomination for Best Picture at the 2026 Academy Awards.

Just because Apple TV has plenty of big projects on streaming right now doesn’t mean the platform isn’t still looking for its next big hit. One of the most anticipated projects in the works for Apple TV right now is a live-action feature movie adaptation of Mistborn, the hit fantasy novel from Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson also helped write The Wheel of Time books, which were adapted into a series on Prime Video that was canceled after only three seasons. Sanderson recently posted a video on his YouTube account, giving a weekly update on all of his work, and he confirmed that the script for Mistborn is about 50% written. He says he’s “moving right along on that,” and “getting good feedback from Apple about what they’re expecting.” Sanderson says that Apple executives have not yet read his incomplete script, but confirms they’re “feeling really good about how this is going.”

BEGIN YOUR QUEST →

01
You are handed a responsibility that could destroy you. What do you do?
The weight of the world falls on unlikely shoulders.

AAccept it. Someone has to, and running changes nothing.
BStay by the side of whoever carries it. They shouldn’t go alone.
CStep forward and lead. This is exactly what I was made for.
DIt’s mine now. I won’t let anyone else have it.

NEXT QUESTION →

02
Your closest companion is heading into terrible danger. You:
True loyalty is revealed not in comfort, but in crisis.

AFollow them without hesitation. I’d rather die beside them than live without them.
BRally others and forge a plan to help — strength in numbers.
COffer wisdom and guidance. My counsel may save them where swords cannot.
DLet them go. Only the strong survive, and sentiment is a weakness.

NEXT QUESTION →

03
Enormous power is within your reach. Your instinct is:
Power corrupts — but only those who reach for it.

ADestroy it. Nothing good comes from power this absolute.
BUse it to protect those I love — just this once.
CWield it wisely. I have the will and the knowledge to do good with it.
DSeize it. I have waited long enough. It belongs to me.

NEXT QUESTION →

04
What does “home” mean to you?
Where we long to return reveals who we truly are.

AA simple, peaceful place — green hills, good food, no adventure required.
BWherever the people I love are. Home is a feeling, not a place.
CA kingdom I must earn before I can truly claim it as mine.
DI lost it long ago. That loss is what drives everything I do.

NEXT QUESTION →

05
When a battle is upon you, your approach is:
War reveals what we are made of — whether we like it or not.

ASurvive by any means. I’m not a fighter — but I’ll do what I must.
BFight for the person beside me, not for glory or honour.
CLead the charge. Nothing inspires an army like a king at the front.
DStrike from range, fast and precise — never let them get close.

NEXT QUESTION →

06
Someone comes to you for advice in their darkest hour. You:
Wisdom is not knowing all the answers — it’s knowing which questions to ask.

AListen, then offer honest encouragement. Sometimes people just need belief.
BGive them practical help — words are fine, but action is better.
CSpeak carefully. I have seen much, and I know what counsel can cost.
DTell them what they want to hear. Trust is a tool like any other.

NEXT QUESTION →

07
How do you see yourself, honestly?
Self-knowledge is the most dangerous kind.

ASmall and ordinary — but perhaps that’s exactly why I was chosen.
BDefined entirely by who I serve and love. I am nothing without them.
CForged by hardship into something the world has not yet fully seen.
DDiminished from what I once was — and consumed by the need to reclaim it.

NEXT QUESTION →

08
Which of these best describes your relationship with the natural world?
Middle-earth speaks to those who know how to listen.

AI find peace in it — forests, rivers, open skies. Nature restores me.
BI prefer the earth underfoot — stone, mines, solid and real things.
CI have watched the world change for longer than most can comprehend.
DNature offers hiding places, cold water, raw fish. That’s enough for me.

NEXT QUESTION →

09
You encounter a wretched, pitiable creature who has done terrible things. You:
How we treat the fallen reveals the height of our character.

AShow mercy. Even the most broken souls deserve a chance at redemption.
BPity them — but never trust them. They made their choices.
CSee them as a tool. Their knowledge or skills may still serve a purpose.
DDestroy them before they can cause more harm. Mercy is a luxury we cannot afford.

NEXT QUESTION →

10
When the quest is over and the songs are sung, what do you hope they say about you?
In the end, we are all just stories.

AThat an ordinary person did an extraordinary thing — and came home.
BThat I never abandoned the person who needed me most.
CThat I was worthy of the crown — and everything it demanded.
DNothing. I don’t need songs. I needed it, and now it’s gone.

You carry something heavy — and you carry it alone, even when you don’t have to. You were not born for greatness, and that is precisely why greatness chose you. Your courage is not the roaring, sword-swinging kind; it is quiet, stubborn, and terrifying in its refusal to quit. The Ring weighs on you more than anyone can see, and still you walk toward the fire. That is not weakness. That is the rarest kind of strength there is.

You are, without question, the best of them. Not the most powerful, not the most celebrated — but the most essential. Your loyalty is not a trait; it is a force of nature. You would carry the person you love up the slopes of Mount Doom if it came to that, and we both know you’d do it without being asked. The world needs more people like you, and the world is lucky it has even one.

You were born to lead, and you have spent years running from it. The crown is yours by right, but you know better than anyone that right means nothing without the will and the worthiness to back it up. You are tempered by loss, shaped by long roads, and defined by a code of honour you hold to even when no one is watching. When you finally step forward, the world shifts. Because it was always waiting for you.

You have seen more than you let on, and you say less than you know — which is exactly as it should be. You are a catalyst: you do not fight the battles yourself, you ignite the people who can. Your wisdom comes not from books but from an age of watching what happens when it is ignored. You arrive precisely when you mean to, and your presence alone changes what is possible. A wizard is never late.

Graceful, perceptive, and almost preternaturally calm under pressure — you see things others miss and act before others react. You do not need to make a scene to be remarkable; your presence speaks for itself. You are loyal to those you choose to stand beside, and that choice is not made lightly. You have lived long enough to know that the most beautiful things in this world are also the most fragile, and that is why you fight to protect them.

You are loud, proud, and absolutely formidable — and beneath all of that is one of the most fiercely loyal hearts in Middle-earth. You don’t do anything by half measures. Your friendships are forged like iron, your grudges run as deep as mines, and your courage in battle is the kind that makes legends. You came into this fellowship suspicious of everyone and ended it willing to die for an elf. That is not a small thing. That is everything.

You think in centuries and act in absolutes. Order, dominion, control — not because you are cruel by nature, but because you have decided that the world left to itself always falls apart, and you are the only one with the vision and the will to hold it together. You were not always this. Something was lost, or taken, or betrayed, and the version of you that stands now is the answer to that wound. The tragedy is that you’re not entirely wrong — just entirely too far gone to course-correct.

You are a study in contradiction — pitiable and dangerous, cunning and broken, capable of both cruelty and something that once resembled love. You are defined by loss: of innocence, of self, of the one thing that gave your existence meaning. Two voices war inside you constantly, and the tragedy is that the better one sometimes wins, just not often enough, and never at the right moment. You are a warning, yes — but also a mirror. We are all a little Gollum, given the right ring and enough time.

Don’t Give Up on These Shows That Got Off to Rocky Starts — The Collider TV Quiz!

Some of the most beloved shows got off to a rough start. Here are eight that either had trouble finding an audience or were axed before they could.

What Is ‘Mistborn’ About?

Mistborn follows a group of magic-using thieves who set out to overthrow the Lord Ruler, an immortal tyrant who is wreaking havoc on the world. The fantasy series has elements of The Lord of the Rings in terms of its scale and unique fantasy creatures and magic, but it’s also similar to Dune in that it takes place in a dark, dystopian world, covered in ash. Arrakis may be covered in sand and not ash, but the blending of ideas between the two and political intrigue is enough to make the live-action Mistborn movie one of Apple TV’s most exciting projects in the works right now.

Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and coverage of Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn adaptation in the works at Apple TV.
