Valdemar TV Series Release Date, Cast, And Plot – What We Know So Far – Looper

At this point, it’s still much too early for a release date to be announced. On August 3, 2021, Deadline reported that production company Radar Pictures had acquired the TV rights to the novel series. The project doesn’t yet have a buyer that’s publicly known — although Radar Pictures’ founder Ted Field is also an executive producer on the Amazon series “The Wheel of Time,” so that’s a good guess for where the show might end up. 

Otherwise, there haven’t been any other reports on the status of the script, casting, or production. Once a buyer and the cast announced, we should have a clearer idea of when a “Valdemar” show might premiere.

For comparison, “Wheel of Time” began production in September 2019 and the COVID-19 pandemic halted production in March 2020 (via Variety). “The Wheel of Time” resumed filming in April 2021 (via Deadline) and finally wrapped in May (via Tor). Altogether, that’s a production timeline of about seven months. The first season of “The Wheel of Time” premieres in November 2021, which is about six months after filming wrapped. Altogether, that’s about 13 months from the start of production until the premiere, minus coronavirus-related delays.  

So, if “Valdemar” does wind up at Amazon, and has a similar production timetable, the earliest it could possibly premiere is August-September 2022. However, since “Valdemar” still doesn’t have a buyer, odds are it would be much later than that.
