Rothfuss began writing the series in 1994, [5] under the working title The Song of Flame and Thunder; the name was changed because he disliked it, as well as to avoid confusion with the George R. R. Martin series A Song of Ice and Fire. [6] The first draft of the trilogy was completed in 2000, [7] a draft he described as "a hot mess". [5] In July 2013, 20th Century Fox optioned The Kingkiller Chronicle for a TV series. The production team included Arnon Milchan, Andrew Plotkin, Brad Weston, and Robert Lawrence.

[33] [34] [35] [36] Showtime began developing the series as of October 2017 but ended their involvement two years later in September, causing the rights to return to Lionsgate TV, which is shopping it around. [37] [38] The Kingkiller Chronicle tells the life story of a man named Kvothe. In the present day, Kvothe is a rural innkeeper, living under a pseudonym. In the past, he was a wandering trouper and musician who grew to be a notorious arcanist (or wizard), known as the infamous "Kingkiller". The Kingkiller Chronicle is intended to be a trilogy. The books are set in a fictional world referred to as the Four Corners in-universe; [3] the world's official name, Temerant, was revealed in 2014.

[25] Lin-Manuel Miranda's 'Kingkiller Chronicles' Series Set At Showtime". Deadline . Retrieved 27 October 2017. Rather than face trial or execution for treason, some of the regicides managed to escape, either by dying conveniently before the long arm of royal authority could get to them, or by fleeing far away. One lived out his days as a gardener in the Netherlands. But even those who went into exile were not necessarily safe: some were forced to move restlessly from place to place, pursued by informers and assassins for whom a regicide’s scalp was a sought-after prize. The sleepy Swiss hamlet of Vevey harboured several of these refugees, protecting them from multiple attempts on their lives. One of their number chose unwisely to venture further afield, only to die riddled with bullets in a Lausanne churchyard, while others kept running as far as New England, only to find that the new king’s revenge followed them there.McNally, Victoria (July 19, 2013).
