Redwall Series to Return With 23rd Book in 2027
The Redwall fantasy series is returning with a 23rd book, Orphans of Mossflower, scheduled for release on Sept.

The series was created by British writer Brian Jacques, whose first Redwall novel appeared in the UK in 1986.
The new book is advertised as written by Jacques, who died in 2011, three months before the previous novel, The Rogue Crew, was published.
The new release is planned alongside a boxed set of all 22 earlier novels, marking 40 years since the series began.
No official plot details have been announced, though a character named Reisa Kartwell, revealed through a 2010 publisher contest, was said to help Redwall residents reach safety when their home is attacked.
The book’s release is the next confirmed step; further details are expected closer to its publication date.
A planned Netflix adaptation was canceled earlier in 2026.
