I don’t know if there are currently any movie deals in the works for Sarah MacLean’s novels, but I would love for someone to option them for period dramas. In the meantime, if you’re looking for something very different and also really engrossing, the ‘Eden High Series’ is a web novel. The story takes place in a highly competitive and cutthroat academic environment of a prep high school. There’s huge academic pressure and lots of secrets.

Yes, I'd think many of Sarah MacLean's books would make great films. I've already listed out all of her books and would be happy to negotiate for their film rights. Although, there’s nothing officially announced right now, so maybe we’re just in negotiations for the options for The Rules series (i.e. Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake, etc).

The Netflix/Amazon series ‘Bridgerton’ has done an amazing job already adapting historical romances, and I really think Netflix or Amazon would be great for a series of Sarah MacLean’s books. I’m thinking her ‘Hell’s Belles’ series, which features a group of 19th-century, feminist vigilantes could make for a really great and original next adaptation. Perhaps there are already negotiations underway, and this is just taking time, as period dramas are typically big and take a long time to make. If enough fans keep blasting this out on social media, maybe it will pick up steam. For now, I’m happy to make my own little bit of fan content (see my Sarah MacLean fan art and playlists so far).

Until that day arrives, I shall have to be satisfied with the excellent fan art and playlists that already exist to represent Sarah’s wonderful novels. Hopefully we shall have an announcement to share with you all very soon.

There's no word that streaming services are going to option any of the books of romance author Sarah MacLean, who seems to write novels that would make excellent movies. And I am stuck imagining the really great potential adaptation of her new novel, The Day of the Duchess. It is so intense and so emotional and there's this wonderful revenge plot and then it's just this really slow burn. It's a really great period drama that could win awards.

Streaming platforms are picking up romance novels left and right. Who knows, maybe one day Hollywood will also catch up with all the great works of romance novelists, including Sarah MacLean. Her ‘Scandal & Scoundrel’ series would make a great TV show, just like ‘Gossip Girl’ but set in the Regency era. I would love to see Sofia Boutella playing Sera in ‘The Duchess War’ or Henry Golding as the Duke of Marwick in ‘No Good Duke Goes Unpunished’.

Maybe not, but a girl can hope. Until then, I will be living out the rest of these imaginary scenes in my brain and probably scratching out some rough storyboards for them too.

While I’m aware of all the latest news on adaptations, so far there’s been no announcement on any of this author’s books being made into films or TV series. Of course, her historical romances are huge right now, and novels like The Bareknuckle Bastards and The Rules of Scoundrels are written in series, so the potential for future adaptations of these is huge. For now though, I’m happy to just keep reading all her books over and over again, and to imagine who could play my favorite characters when (if?) they’re finally made into films. Standing out for me from her backlist of novels so far would be The Rogue Not Taken and A Scot in the Dark – can’t you just imagine the costumes in particular in the first of these?

I am so boring right now. Waiting for news of various sorts is not productive. In the meantime, I am re-reading Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover. This one has a very cinematic feel to me. A woman living under an assumed identity as she tries to clear her sister's name and save the family newspaper empire from fell swoop of the man who wants to ruin them in order to gain for himself. It is a great story and I highly recommend it. In fact, I think it is better than the movie it would make (which I assume would be excellent in its own right). The pacing, the reveals, the character growth – all perfect as it is. Some stories are just meant to be books.
