Forget ‘The Witcher,’ This Epic Dark Fantasy Series Deserves Its Own TV Adaptation

Collider · 8 hours ago

An article for Collider argues that Hannah Kaner's "Fallen Gods" trilogy would make a strong television adaptation for fans of Netflix's "The Witcher," which is nearing its final season. The dark fantasy book series is set in the kingdom of Middren, where a king has outlawed the worship of gods following a devastating war, giving rise to mercenary "godkillers" tasked with hunting down any deities that remain.

The story follows Kissen, a one-legged godkiller, who is forced to team up with a young girl named Inara and the minor god bound to her soul, alongside a disillusioned soldier-turned-baker, as political intrigue and rival gods threaten the kingdom. The trilogy began with "Godkiller" in 2023 and concluded last year, and the piece highlights its inclusive cast — featuring strong female characters, LGBTQ+ representation and disabled characters such as Kissen, who wears a prosthetic leg — as a further reason it would suit a screen adaptation.

  • Collider suggests Hannah Kaner's "Fallen Gods" trilogy as a TV adaptation.
  • Story follows a godkiller protecting a girl bound to a minor deity.
  • Trilogy praised for diverse, inclusive representation of its characters.
