Aaron Harberts and Gretchen J. Berg are set to showrun an adaptation of Melissa de la Cruz’s YA fantasy novel The Ring & The Crown, according to Deadline.

The book is set in an Arthurian world in which magic exists, focusing on Princess Marie-Victoria, the heir to the mightiest empire in the world, who is being forced into a political marriage, and her friend Aelwyn Myrddyn, the bastard daughter of Merlin, who is being forced into service of the crown. The Annual London Season is just beginning, and as noble families from across the globe are gathering to flaunt their wealth and magic at lavish parties, behind the scenes, Marie-Victoria, Aelwyn, and others are making moves to secure political power, true love, and their futures.

“I am so, so, so excited to partner with Disney once more,” de la Cruz said. “The Ring and The Crown is one of my finest novels, it was inspired by my favorite book of all time, Tolstoy’s War and Peace as well as my favorite mythology of all time, the Arthurian legends. I cannot wait to see it brought to life by such a stellar team, studio and streaming service.”

“We are thrilled to be reunited with Charlie Andrews, Reena Singh, and the 20th team,” Berg and Harberts said. “Their vision, combined with The Gotham Group’s passion and expertise, provide the perfect ingredients to craft a romantic, action-packed, supernatural soap with seasons and seasons of stories. We could not be more excited to be a part of bringing this rich universe to life.”
