I'm still disappointed they botched the Wheel of Time. Like, right from the very beginning, that started making really questionable choices. I wish they'd do it animated because one, that'd make the magic way cheaper, and two, it'd make it feasible to grapple with the sheer size of the series.

The whole bobiverse series.

Anyways, almost any book could be made into a fun series, because most books are well-written.

This is a pretty basic answer but The Dark Elf Trilogy could be incredible on film if done properly. Drizzt's early life is one of my favorite character arcs in fiction and Menzoberranzan is an exceptionally interesting society. It could even just be a series mostly focused on the first book and then ends when he leaves the city or when he goes topside so they could really flesh out just how fucked the dark elves are.

Neil Stephenson's snowcrash would be interesting.

There Is No Antimemetics Division.

Hyperion.

I wish they could finish the Expanse. That was a pretty good adaptation as far as they got, and the books really tie everything very nicely together toward the end (as well as get kind of crazy)

Wheel of time. No, that garbage they tried at Amazon doesn't count.

I'd absolutely love it if Star Trek (not Alex Kurtzmen) adapted the Corp of Engineers books.

The original ebook series would slot in perfectly with a 20ish episode a year release cycle, and the plots/characters are already developed, you just need to script them out.

Each book is a "problem of the week" style story, with that classic Star Trek (not Alex Kurtzmen) style character development, based on the main problem of the episode.

But, until Kurtzmen, or the mouth-breathers that keep him employed, get hit by a bus we'll never know how well it could be adapted...

For me it's the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown.

The Laundry by Charles Stross

None. No more.

diskworld series have some, but need more imo

The Dragonriders of Pern books need adapted.

the Amber books

I will always say that HHGttG needs a well done remake as a TV series’s that leaves out nothing.

The Dark Tower. There is a film of the same name, but it has literally nothing to do with the masterpiece of literature that is the book series. A series would be how it should be done.

Seriously, fuck that movie. I know Stephen King always gets screwed by film adaptations, but even Ender’s Game was a more accurate telling of the books. Not even the Ender’s Game books, I mean Ender’s Game was a better film adaptation of The Dark Tower books than The Dark Tower movie was. I was in seat 19, that was the closest I got to seeing any material from the books in that piece of shit movie. They even had my ideal casting for Roland and The Man In Black, what a gods damned waste.

World War Z - needs to be done properly tied closely to the book as a short TV series.

The Little Engine that Could. It will be a big budget 10 hour (12 hour extended cut) long epic spanning across three movies, directed by Peter Jackson.

The first law

My therapist's notes on our sessions

Squirrel Girl could be good.

I think Adrien Tchaikovsky’s book series The Tyrant Philosophers would be awesome. The first book has an insane amount of characters including nearly forgotten gods, monsters, criminals, heroes, and villains.

I’d really love to see the Wild Cards (compilation series edited by George RR Martin) get something too. It’s a top-tier take on the supe genre.

most dont even stay true to the source material, unless the original writer is on board, even then they can be influenced by executives, like with sandman. with the obvious thing happened with lucifer and death.(not true to the source, only the words were)

invincible is another, with tech jacket, even with the creator on board.

on one hand, series like nutrek just straight up plagiarizes fan novels without giving credit.

I wanna see a book accurate animated series based on Artemis Fowl. They did a movie but it wasn't true to the book

I have been disapointed by so many im not sure I want any at this point.

Dictionary (Based on the Book by Merriam Webster)

The epic sequel will be simply, THESAURUS.

Neil Stephenson's The Diamond Age

Bruce Sterling's Involution Ocean

John Scalzi's Old Man's War book series. Apparently it's been optioned for 15+ years now, but nobody's actually gotten around to making the damned thing yet.

I feel like the Cosmere is pretty well structured for a series. Each season could be a different world, eventually tying things together.

From what I've heard, something is in the works. Hopefully optimistic it turns out well.

Apple, you've been doing a pretty good job but you need to do your own homework.

After watching Foundation and then reading Foundation… Foundation. It could easily be done as an anthology. And as a recently Rekindled weeb, it would be fantastic as a well done anime. Really cannot understand what the Apple TV pus thing was going for other than “let’s just tell a copletely different story and co-opt the name. (Man that’s never been done before right?)

Diane Duane's young wizard series as an animated movie could be great.

Although I wish Amazon instead of making that stupid rings of power or whatever the fuck it was, I wish they had adapted Stephen R. Donaldson's The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever.

None ever did

I'd watch Robert Asprin's MythAdventures as a show.

Pierce Brown's Red Rising

An adaptation, or an 'adaptation', that's a thinly veiled director's fanfic?
