The Daily Wire's Cinematic Ventures: A Strategic Expansion

The Daily Wire is making a bold leap into high fantasy with The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin, set to premiere on January 22, 2026, exclusively on DailyWire+. Building on the company’s growing success in film—most notably with the box office hit Am I Racist?—this series adapts Stephen R. Lawhead’s acclaimed Arthurian novels, blending Celtic mythology, early Christianity, and political intrigue. With a talented cast, authentic European locations, and a seasoned production team led by Jeremy Boreing, the series represents a strategic expansion of The Daily Wire into scripted entertainment. As the fantasy genre enjoys renewed popularity, The Pendragon Cycle could become a landmark series, reinforcing the company’s cultural influence while appealing to both core subscribers and broader audiences.
