Books – whether they are mystery series, love stories, fantasy epics, or shocking nonfiction tales – have always served as major inspirations for TV shows, and 2023 is no different. The year in television promises new shows, limited series, and seasons based on best-selling novels.
A new season of “Bridgerton,” based on the series of best-selling romances, promises to light up TV screens very soon. Meanwhile, the second season of “Shadow and Bone,” which will once again dive into the Grishaverse, is on the horizon as well. Then there’s Netflix’s epic adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning “All the Light We Cannot See” and FX’s upcoming take on “Great Expectations.” Perhaps most anticipated is the miniseries “Daisy Jones and the Six,” which adapts the BookTok-favorite novel.
If nonfiction is more your thing, don’t worry. There’s Showtime’s “Three Women,” based on a nonfiction account of three women’s lives – and their unique relationships with sex, as well as Prime Video’s “Tiny Beautiful Things” starring Kathryn Hahn, based on a book of advice columns.
If you’re a completist and want to check out these books before their shows come out, you’re in luck. Ahead, these are 11 shows based on books coming to TV and streaming in 2023.
