Michael B. Jordan says his TV series adaptation of popular romantasy novel Fourth Wing will be anything but "cheesy."

"It allows people to, like, fall in love with the characters that they have imagined in their head without any baggage, with projecting their own feelings on certain casts," Jordan, who serves as executive producer, told the BBC when asked about casting choices. "So just know, it's nothing cheesy coming out. It ain't no obvious choices. I think it's going to be something that feels honest."

Fourth Wing, written by Rebecca Yarros, follows a young woman named Violet Sorrengail, who is forced by her powerful mother, General Sorrengail, to attend Basgiath War College and become a dragon rider in the kingdom of Navarre – something she is totally unprepared for, because she planned to work as a Scribe in the Archives.
