  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nJosh Heuston is a very popular fancast for Prime Video's upcoming _Fourth Wing_ series, so when we sit down to chat all things _Off-Campus_(on Prime May 13)__, I have to ask whether we could see him riding a dragon in the near future.\n\n_Elle_ points out that not only does Josh follow Rebecca Yarros and Michael B. Jordan (who's producing the series) on Instagram, he also has a dragon in his bio!\n\n* * *\n\n## Here's what Josh Heuston had to say about potentially starring as Xaden in the _Fourth Wing_ TV show.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\"I've said it before, we'll leave it up to the scribes, I suppose,\" he says with a laugh, \"or the writers, however you wanna say that.\"\n\nOkay so that's neither a confirmation nor a denial so I still think it's very possible we'll see him in the series. Rebecca Yarros has been vocal about the role before, telling _Variety_ , \"We’re just going to say [Xaden] is POC. I want to make sure that role is open to as much diversity as possible. So I was never going to give the readers my vision because I know that once you give the readers your vision, that’s what they’re gonna stick to. And I wanted to make sure we left it open to as much diversity as possible.\"\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nProducer Michael B. Jordan also recently made comments on the highly-anticipated show, and he recently revealed how seriously he's taking his approach to the series.\n\n“We are making sure that this is going to be a exciting show that delivers on all of the things the fans want and some of the things that they won’t be expecting either,” he told Deadline. “But trust me, I know how beloved this franchise IP is and we’re diligently…We’re in the lab; we’re cooking up. We got it. It’s coming. It’s early stages, but I feel how much people care about this one. It’s not lost on us.”\n\n**Stay tuned for more news on the upcoming _Fourth Wing_ show (and the upcoming books in the series!). Follow Brit + Co on Facebook for more pop culture news.**",
