Making books into movies is Watch online Sexy Warriors (2014) full moviesuch old news. It's PEAK TV which means it's peak TV adaptations of novels to maximize screen time, revenue and #buzz.
Netflix will drop 13 Reasons Why this weekand is fresh off a successful Series of Unfortunate Eventsrelease that quickly garnered a second season order. Books are all over our TVs, whether it's HBO's Big Little Liesor Syfy's The Magiciansor miniseries like The Casual Vacancyand Cormoran Strikein the U.K.
Adapting popular books for the small screen isn't new -- in fact, in the illustrious '90s, it was the O.G. format for bringing page to screen, as with Goosebumps, The Baby-Sitters Club, Animorphsand other sacred texts of childhood. We're in favor of the format's resurgence, and have some ideas for what to adapt next...
SEE ALSO: 10 movie adaptations that totally didn't suckMeg Cabot's book series about an unsuspecting teen princess were bestsellers, and while the Anne Hathaway/Julie Andrews movie and sequel are a delight, it's prettydifferent. Cabot wrote no less than 10 full-length novels as Princess Mia (and a few novellas), the most recent of which caught up with her at age 25 after almost a decade in the spotlight. A TV series would be the perfect way to get acquainted with Mia's eclectic world (New York, not San Francisco), friends like violin virtuoso Boris Pelkowski or Tina Hakim Baba and an acerbic royal grandma who drinks sidecars and terrifies poodles.
The Golden Compass (book #1) was translated into a mediocre movie in 2007, and it never received the type of treatment the exceptional YA series deserves (it was largely targeted toward children). Following Lyra Belacqua and Will Parry through parallel universes and an intense theological hunt/coming-of-age story, His Dark Materialswould be a stunning TV show full of witches, armored polar bears, daemons and fantastical creatures. The books also espouse deep themes about family, identity and spirituality that deserve the sort of serious consideration a TV series could give.
As a miniseries, We Were Liarscould be what I wanted Big Little Liesto be. The story recaps summers that young Cadence Sinclair spent with her cousins and her family's enigmatic charge Gatwick Patel on an island near Martha's Vineyard. The emphasis is on "Summer Fifteen" and "Summer Sixteen" -- the events during and in between that cover a dark secret.
Though there was already a movie adaptation of the first two books, they left fans wanting and were far from accurate to what made the series great (they couldn't even get Annabeth's hair right). This saga of half-human children of Greek gods fighting monsters and saving the world in modern times is both funny and dark, with epic and episodic adventures that would fit perfectly into season arcs. Plus, the ensemble of characters has something for everyone, including a heart-wrenching coming out story for one of the first prominent gay characters in a children's series.
This rich fantasy is full of masterful world building -- the stuff of a movie studio's dream. It's a bit big budget, but here's a counterpoint: Game of Thrones. Sabaa Tahir's An Ember in the Ashes, another thrilling fantasy novel, is in the the works to be a movie, so let's get Rebel to TV/streaming stat. Plus, it all but demands a diverse cast, and lord knows Hollywood could use more of those.
While comic book adaptations have ruled screens for the last decade this best-selling and award-winning novel takes a slightly fictionalized look at the dawn of superhero comic books during the Great Depression. Joe Kavalier and Sammy Klayman, cousins and Jews at the dawn of World War II channel their frustrations and passions into a new art form: comic books. Their creation, The Escapist, can do what Joe's family back in Prague cannot and their work helps spark an artist revolution. Based on the real-life originators of the genre, this novel is engrossing and inspiring and perfect for postmodern and overly knowledgable superhero fans and ripe for a small-screen adaptation.
Forgive a Twilight analogy, if you will, but this fantasy romance showcases the best of the genre; Osfrid joins the school/business of the Glittering Court, which is basically a bougie otherworldly prep school. She finds herself attracted to its rich owner's son and it's a forbidden match made in YA heaven. Tumblr would have a field day with the gifs.
First of all, it's historical fiction, which networks and audiences love. The World War II drama focuses on East Prussian refugees at sea and their fight for survival. The multiple perspectives would create dynamic episodes and give more weight to heady emotional twists and themes about love, life and perseverance.
This trilogy begins with Katsa, a girl who can kill people with her bare hands and finds her terrifying skill highly sought by those in power. The second book follows a girl whose beauty allows her to manipulate others and the third explains how the kingdom recovered from these powers and the rule that let them run wild. Tell me you wouldn't watch that weekly.
Hear me out -- wait, HEAR ME OUT! As a ride-or-die Potterhead since '99, I will love and defend those movies 'til my dying breath. That film franchise achieved the impossible; Eight movies in 10 years, barely a change in casting and shockingly well-adjusted child stars who continue to bless our generation as adults. But doesn't the idea of a seven-season series (around 10 episodes each, depending on the heft of the book) make you kind of drool a little? VFX have come a long way since 2001, and they could help tell the backstories that Warner Bros. mostly cut from the feature films (WHERE ARE MY HOT MARAUDER FLASHBACKS?). Anyway, WB, I'm just a phone call away!
