'Eragon' live-action series in the works at Disney —report

Eragon and Saphira are returning to our screens!

According to a report on Variety, a television adaptation of the popular fantasy book series "The Inheritance" by Christpher Paolini is in the works at Disney+.

"Eragon" is the first novel in the series, and follows farmboy Eragon who discovers a dragon egg. Once the dragon hatched, he named it Saphira and goes on to become a Dragon Rider.

In 2006, "Eragon" was adapted into a film, but fans of the books were generally left disappointed.

This is the latest fantasy book series being adapted by Disney+. A live-action take of Rick Riordan's "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" is in production for the streaming service. —JCB, GMA News
