Analysis
The Cosmere's Peak Popularity
Brandon Sanderson's massive catalog of fantasy works (the 'Cosmere') has been secured for film/TV adaptation (simulated late 2025 context). His complex world-building and satisfying resolutions offer a strong foundation for high-quality, prestige television. The 'Yes' majority reflects the expectation that, with major streaming platform budgets, one of these adaptations—likely *Mistborn* or *Stormlight Archive*—will capture both critical and audience acclaim, earning the title of the highest-rated TV series (based on aggregate scores) in a single calendar year before 2030.
