The next big book-to-screen franchise might just have wings — and fans of Kate Stewart’s Ravenhood series are already buzzing with casting ideas.
Constantin Film, best known for Resident Evil, has partnered with After producers Jennifer Gibgot and Andrew Panay to adapt Stewart’s cult-favorite romance-thriller into a feature film. With more than three million copies sold and a dedicated fanbase, the pressure is on to cast the core characters just right.
At the heart of the saga is Cecilia Horner, the sharp, emotionally complex heroine who stumbles into a world ruled by secrets and inked loyalty.
Who could bring Cecilia’s mix of vulnerability and fire to the screen? Share your top picks.
The books — part love story, part adrenaline-fueled mystery — reimagine the Robin Hood legend in modern-day North Carolina, where Cecilia meets a trio of enigmatic men marked by raven tattoos and their own brutal code. That trio includes Sean Roberts, the first to capture her attention with a mix of swagger and sincerity.
Got a dream actor in mind for Sean? Think charm, edge, and just enough mystery.
The original Ravenhood trilogy (Flock, Exodus, and The Finish Line) will be the foundation for the adaptation, while Stewart’s newer Legacy Series continues to expand the universe. The timing couldn’t be better: the second installment in the new series, Severed Heart, drops June 24.
The production is still early in development, but it’s already drawing attention for the talent involved behind the camera. Stewart herself is making her screenwriting debut, co-writing the script with After We Collided’s Mario Celaya. Both will also produce, alongside Gibgot, Panay, Nadine Christine Hamdan, and Oliver Berben.
As fans know, the emotional center of the series belongs to the King brothers — especially Tobias King, the dark, magnetic figure whose presence casts a long shadow across all three books.

No official casting announcements have been made yet, but with the team behind After and Wedding Crashers onboard — and Stewart closely involved — the search for the next breakout stars is underway.
Until the final cast is revealed, one thing’s for sure: the Ravenhood series is built on chemistry, tension, and unforgettable characters. And getting those four leads right? It’s everything.
