RBmedia Verlag Announces Immersive ‘Radio Play’ Adaptation of Global Blockbuster Fourth Wing

Large-scale production to feature a star-studded cast of 40 voice actors

 

RBmedia Verlag, RBmedia’s German-language audio brand, is set to publish an immersive ‘radio play’ audio adaptation of Entangled Publishing’s Fourth Wing, the global bestselling fantasy novel by American author Rebecca Yarros.

The large-scale audio production will feature renowned voice talents Dagmar Bittner, Vincent Fallow, Lucas Sanchez, and Claudia Urbschat Mingues, leading a stellar cast of 40 voice actors to bring the hugely popular story to life for German-speaking audiences.

Rebecca Yarros—whose books have now sold over 12 million copies globally—has been widely accredited as the catalyst behind the explosive growth of the “romantasy” genre. Fourth Wing, the first book in her Empyrean series, has been translated into 30 languages.

The new ‘radio play’ edition of Fourth Wing will bolster the Empyrean franchise in Germany and offer fans an exciting new way to experience the story, alongside existing formats. 

Rebecca Yarros said: “”I’m thrilled to partner with RBmedia Verlag to bring Fourth Wing to German readers in this radio play format. I have always loved the German tradition of audio dramas and radio plays and I can’t wait to hear what readers think!

Silvia Krysciak, Acquisitions Manager at RBmedia Verlag, added: “Rebecca Yarros is an author who needs no introduction. What she has achieved in international publishing with Fourth Wing and the Empyrean series over the last two years is nothing short of remarkable, and we are delighted to help bring this phenomenon to new audiences.”

Krysciak continued, “This production marks a pivotal moment for RBmedia Verlag as we expand our programme and move into exciting new audio formats. The tradition of radio plays is deeply rooted in German culture, so there is already a large, captivated audience for this type of audio content. This, coupled with a magnificent 40-strong cast of actors, expert production, and one of publishing’s hottest properties, makes for truly something special. We can’t wait to share this amazing production with listeners.”

The Fourth Wing radio play will be published by RBmedia Verlag on 18 September 2025 and is available for preorder now.
