Light Before Dawn

Plans are to begin filming in 2027 inshallah as a collaboration between creatives in North America, Middle East and Asia, in a five episode live-action series.

Yes, the prequel will feature characters and themes from Part 1 of Dawn of the Firebird, delving into the context and early lives that shaped the bulk of the novel. The show will focus on Khamilla’s parents: the Prince / Emperor, and Aysenor. Other characters will include Dunya, Eliyas, Yun, Babshah Khatun and the Khan.

I am consulting as a producer for the show, and I am thankful that they have let me play a vital role to ensure the world is adapted as canonically and faithfully as possible, while still allowing for creative liberties.

Anything can happen as adaptations are difficult.
