Pierce Brown’s Red Rising
For me it’s the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown.
I’m surprised how that hasn’t been a thing yet considering how big the story is.
The whole bobiverse series.
Anyways, almost any book could be made into a fun series, because most books are well-written.
i would watch the shit out of that
I read a lot of books. I don’t know that I agree most are well written, lol.
The Dragonriders of Pern books need adapted.
Agreed, but we almost had a Rings of Power/Wheel of Time type version. Fortunately Anne McCaffrey was still alive and in control and told the network fuck off and pulled the rights. I don’t recall which network, doesn’t matter much, they’re all the same. They wanted to turn it into a teen YA romance thingy (which some of them have that a bit, but it’s part of the whole thing). The good thing is the CGI then wouldn’t have been great, it would have been like the Dune TV series. But if they had mutilated the actual lore and story, that would have been terrible.
Oh, if only.
The first two Hyperion books
Once you read it you realize it’s influenced SO MUCH and it would be pretty epic now that’s e have the tech to do something at that scale
Apple, you’ve been doing a pretty good job but you need to do your own homework.
World War Z - needs to be done properly tied closely to the book as a short TV series.
The series ‘Invasion’ did something similar.
Thanks, I’ll look into that one!

The epic sequel will be simply, THESAURUS.
I feel like my hero academia would have potential to be a cool tv series.
My therapist’s notes on our sessions
In black and white, French, Subtitled.
Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stevenson. But keep it the modern stuff as part of the ninties at the Dawn of the Information Age.
The Bobiverse books by Dennis E. Taylor, and The Shadow of the Leviathan series by Robert Jackson Bennett. These are two series I would love to see rendered as animated or live action stories.
Peter Watts “Starfish”and its sequels would be great TV.

I’ve always had a dream of watching Rendezvous with Rama but it’s been in development for a long time.
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.
From what I’ve read Mistborn is being adapted as a film trilogy, while Stormlight Archives will be a series with Sanderson being the primary screenwriter. Think it was announced a month or two ago.
Warbreaker and Elantris could be standalone movies. I don’t see how even Stormlight 1 could be compressed down into one movie, given how detailed the world is and how much those details matter.
We saw with Wheel of Time that it’s not enough to just throw money at a stack of books.
