Book adaptations have become a pretty reliable generator of new content for almost all of the streaming services at this point, with a growing number of examples evident across Netflix, HBO Max, Apple TV+, and others. My favorite TV show, period, right now is Gomorrah, an Italian-language crime drama presented in the US on HBO Max that's based on author Roberto Saviano's book of the same name (about the Camorra crime syndicate that's existed for centuries). Among the shows on Apple TV+’s upcoming slate, meanwhile, is Five Days at Memorial -- a limited series from John Ridley and Carlton Cuse who will serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers, and it’s based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author Sheri Fink’s novel of the same name. It chronicles the first five days in a New Orleans hospital after Hurricane Katrina made landfall back in 2005.
Netflix, meanwhile, has some major series teed up that represent hotly anticipated TV adaptations of book titles. Among them are The Three-Body Problem, one of the most celebrated works in all of science fiction that’s being adapted into a Netflix original series by Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff & D.B. Weiss. Add to this list Shadow and Bone, a new fantasy series debuting on Netflix next week (on April 23) that’s based on Leigh Bardugo's worldwide bestselling Grishaverse novels.
