Highfire has become plain old ‘Vern’ and, by day, he hides out among the alligators, watches cable-TV and drinks obscene amounts of vodka to pass the time. But this is not once upon a time, this is now, and now all Lord Highfire rules is his shack in Louisiana’s Honey Island Swamp. Once upon a time, “dragons ruled the earth and Lord Highfire ruled the dragons from his eyrie. The story is described as being True Detective-meets- Pete’s Dragon, and it’s a “genre-bending, live-action” series and “gritty crime-thriller with doses of magical realism.” Its central character, Highfire (Cage), is “a vodka-drinking, Flashdance-loving dragon who lives an isolated existence in the bayous of Louisiana.”

The series is based on Eoin Colfer’s adult thriller novel, and Cage will provide the voice of the lead character. Nicolas Cage’s vodka-loving dragon series project, Highfire, has moved from Amazon to Parmount+.
