2014年12月MTV台整季预订了该剧，这是MTV进入有剧本节目领域以来最具雄心的一个新项目，故事根据Terry Brooks撰写的系列奇幻小说《沙娜拉之剑》改编。《超人前传》（Smallville）的创作人Al Gough和Miles Millar将撰写该剧的剧本，电影《忍者神龟》（Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles）的导演Jonathan Liebesman担任前两集的导演，他们三人还将兼任执行制片人。Terry Brooks本人亦担任执行制片人。Jon Favreau原本应该导演首集，但因为档期冲突而未能如愿，他将保留执行制片人的身份。
在奇幻文学的历史上，从1977年开始出版的《沙娜拉之剑》是与《魔戒》、《地海传说》、《黑暗塔》、《龙枪》、《真理之剑》等巨著齐名的经典作品，前前后后一共有25本书。故事发生在人类文明毁灭数千年之后的「新人类世界」中，远古的邪恶力量日渐复苏，笼罩北方的阴云将扩散至四方大陆。在和平的穴地谷，身上有着一半精灵血统的夏伊是沙娜拉血脉（一个世代具有魔法的家族）留存在这世上的仅存后裔，也是能使用传奇武器「沙娜拉之剑」对抗黑暗势力的最后传人。从黑衣德鲁伊上门警告那一刻起，安定平稳的生活已经是昨日幻梦，因为邪恶的骷髅使者正奉着黑魔君的追杀令，前来摧毁唯一能威胁到它的血脉。受黑暗驱使的地精与巨人大军整军待发、即将侵略四方诸国。在熟知历史的神秘德鲁伊带队之下，谷地人、高地人、边境王子、侏儒、精灵组成八人小队，怀着各自的意志，踏上路途茫茫的寻剑（寻找失落的沙娜拉之剑）之旅。
