You might not know it, but that TV show you’re about to binge-watch tonight? It’s probably based on a novel. Such is the case with hits like Bridgerton, Heated Rivalry, Big Little Lies, and countless other titles taking over our screens. (Even Lindsay Lohan’s television debut is an adaptation of the thriller Count My Lies.) The page-to-TV pipeline has only grown in recent years, with some titles heading to Hollywood even before hitting shelves. But as book lovers know, the remake does not always equal the source material (which, fair!). That’s why we’ve rounded up the best book-to-TV adaptations that actually live up to the hype, whether they’re faithful retellings or modern reimaginings. Happy watching!
