Calling all cadets and dragon riders—the cast of the Fourth Wing television series has finally been revealed.
Nearly three years after Amazon MGM Studios announced an adaptation of Rebecca Yarros’ bestselling romantasy series was in development, Esther McGregor and Emilio Sakraya have been cast as leads Violet Sorrengail and Xaden Riorson, respectively, in the Prime Video series, according to multiple outlets.
McGregor is best known for starring in the streamer's 2025 series We Were Liars and in the 2024 film Babygirl. The 24-year-old—daughter of actor Ewan McGregor—got her start in modeling, before transitioning into acting, making her official debut with a cameo in her dad's 2022 series Obi-Wan Kenobi.
As for Sakraya, the Germany-born star's extensive list of credits includes the Netflix series Warrior Nun, the German sci-fi series Tripes of Europa and the Peacock drama Those About to Die. The 30-year-old is next set to appear in the upcoming season of Netflix's One Piece in 2027.
Fourth Wing—the first of three published fantasy novels in Yarros’ Empyrean five-book series—follows 20-year-old Violet, who, at the order of her military general mother, is forced to become a dragon rider at Basgiath War College in the kingdom of Navarre. After giving up her dreams as a scholarly scribe, Violet is pushed to her limits as she navigates deadly trials and combat, while also clashing with powerful dragon rider Xaden.
While the TV show was first announced way back in October 2023, fan frenzy reached another level after Amazon revealed that the fantasy adaptation officially received a full series order during an upfronts presentation in May 2026.
