In 2017 Brandon made new progress on ''Dark One'' when he decided to approach it as a television show or graphic novel. He wrote a new outline for an eight episode series, inspired by ''[[Wikipedia:Stranger Things|Stranger Things]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Westworld_(TV_series)|Westworld]]''. The new story would be "a parallel narrative--half in our world, half in another world. A kind of dark 'portal fantasy' story." FremantleMedia, who was intrigued in Brandon's early outline for ''Dark One'', was immediately interested.{{ref|name=deadlinecomment}} In December 2017, Brandon announced that he had rewritten the outline for the story, noting that the tone became "both older, and more twisted" than in the previous version, and that he had received television and graphic novel interest, but gave no other details about these developments. He also mentioned that it was again no longer planned as a Cosmere work.{{sots ref|2017}} |
