What book series would you like to see made into a movie trilogy or a show with multiple seasons?

There are some really great kids books I’ve read to my daughter that I think would work well in a visual medium.

In particular the work of Alastair Chisholm (Orion Lost, The Consequence Girl and Adam 2) would work well I think.

Also Jamie Littler’s Frostheart series would be great.

I’d also like to see an adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon that’s much closer to the books than the movie series of the same name. The books are so good but so different from those films, and their story and characters would make a great TV show IMO.

The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. I think it actually might become a movie.

World war Z made a pretty bad movie. However, it would do a gneat TV show, in the style of these 1990’s show with in dependant episodes despite some metaplot

I’ve just realised perhaps the Pleistocene series by Julian May could probably be pulled off, especially if using the original (to me) cover illustrations as visual ‘canon’.

I've always thought The Belgariad/Malloreon/prequels (David & Leigh Eddings) would make for an interesting anime. It's a very shonen kind of story and world.

The Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O’Brien. 21.3 books of amazing naval adventures, spy stuff, and survival. They made a movie with Russell Crowe but it doesn’t nearly capture the scope of the novels.

Damn. Went from wanting to write a short story to making a world spanning 16 novels, lol.

That’s insane

Warrior Cats. Talked about it with a friend the other day, I think an animated show would work best

The Preston & Child “Diogenes trilogy” books.

Or just everything around Agent Pendergast
