I’m just sitting here waiting for someone to confirm an adaptation for 'Book Lovers' by Emily Henry. That was a top seller and feels tailor-made for a Netflix rom-com. I haven’t seen solid news yet, but with her track record, it’s only a matter of time. The banter alone is pure screenplay gold. Sometimes the books that seem most obvious for adaptation take a bit longer to get through development hell, though.

I just like looking at the data. You can almost predict it: if a book hits a certain threshold on the NYT list for a certain number of weeks, there’s a 85% chance an option is announced within 18 months. It’s a business, first and foremost. The artistic merit is important, but the initial green light is about mitigating financial risk with proven audience engagement.

Man, I hope they do right by 'Evelyn Hugo'. That casting will be a minefield. The fan expectations are sky-high. Sometimes the hype from being a mega-bestseller can be a curse for the adaptation—everyone has already cast it in their head, and the internet will riot if it’s not perfect. It’s a high-risk, high-reward project now.

Someone bring up the graphic novel bestsellers! 'Heartstopper' Volume 4 was a 2022 bestseller, but the Netflix series was already a hit by then, so that’s adaptation preceding the sales peak. For a true 'adapted after' example, 'The Magic Fish' by Trung Le Nguyen was a bestseller in previous years and still charted, with film rights optioned. It’s important to remember the visual medium’s unique path to the screen.

At this point, my Kindle and my Netflix queue are in a symbiotic relationship. One feeds the other. I read a 2022 bestseller, see it’s being adapted, and get excited. Or I see a trailer for a new show, discover it’s based on a book I missed, and go read it. The lines are completely blurred, and honestly, it’s a great time to be a consumer of stories.

Which 2022 best seller books were adapted into films or series?

I'm more interested in the adaptations of short story collections or interconnected novels. 'The Office of Historical Corrections' by Danielle Evans, or 'Filthy Animals' by Brandon Taylor. How do you adapt that? Do you weave stories together? Pick one? It's a more creative challenge than adapting a linear novel. We see it with 'The Essex Serpent'—they took a novel and expanded certain aspects. These types of adaptations can be truly original works of art in themselves, using the source as a jumping-off point rather than a blueprint. Those are the projects that attract auteur directors and writers. They're less common, but they're where the real artistic surprises happen.

Tara M. Stringfellow's 'Memphis' was a celebrated literary debut in 2022. I haven't heard concrete adaptation news, but its multi-generational family saga set against the backdrop of the city's history feels perfect for a limited series. Some books just read like television, with clear episode breaks and visual symbolism woven throughout. This is one of them.

Has anyone compiled a list of bestsellers that were improved by their adaptation? It's a short list, but a fascinating one. Sometimes a script doctor finds the heart of a story that was buried under clunky prose in the book. The adaptation becomes the definitive version.
