It was pretty much guaranteed to happen at some point. This is the author whose kickstarter for four ebooks that made $40 million.
Plus the universe just begs for an arbitrarily large number of seasons and spin-offs. There's something for everybody. You almost certainly start with multiple series of Mistborn. From there, you can go in dozens of directions. And there's a built in huge audience. It practically begs for high budget TV adaptation.
Risky business, creating TV shows out of incomplete book series and Cosmere has several. Granted, technically each of those series are standalone and some like Mistborn are timejumped in such a way that each trilogy can be seen as it's own entity so unlike GOT Sanderson and Apple has more wiggle room.
Also, Sanderson is pretty much the exact opposite of GRRM in terms of quantity of writing so odds are good even Stormlight is finished by the time Apple even gets to the first book.
