Apple TV has secured the adaptation rights to Peculiar Stars, an upcoming romance novel from Rebecca Yarros, the bestselling author behind the popular Fourth Wing series.
Peculiar Stars Is Planned as a TV Series
Apple Studios plans to develop Peculiar Stars as a television series. Yarros will serve as an executive producer through her Full Measures Productions company, giving the author a direct role in bringing the story to the screen.
The project remains in the early stages of development. Apple has not announced a writer, director, cast, production schedule, or release date.
The novel follows Callista Moran, a young woman whose life changes when a cyclone leaves her stranded on a deserted island. Her only companion is Dominic, the former Army medic cousin of her fiancé.
Callista and Dominic spend 543 days trying to survive, and their relationship grows stronger during their time together. However, returning home creates new problems as they face public attention, family expectations, privilege, secrets, and the emotional consequences of their experience.
Rebecca Yarros Expands Her TV Projects
Yarros is widely known for the Empyrean fantasy series, which includes Fourth Wing, Iron Flame, and Onyx Storm. A separate television adaptation of Fourth Wing is already in development for Prime Video.
Peculiar Stars gives Apple TV a major new romance project and adds another anticipated book adaptation to its growing lineup.
The standalone novel will be published by Montlake on November 17, 2026. It is currently available to preorder in print, digital, and audiobook formats.
Apple has not confirmed when filming will begin, so viewers will likely have to wait for further casting and production announcements before a possible release window becomes clear.
