I think The Gentleman Bastards series would make for great TV.


Damn. Can't believe I left this out. This is a definite one. It is the stuff of TV shows. Each book is, in essence, a season already wrapped up into a neat little bundle, with a larger arc carrying throughout the story. It is absolutely perfect for a TV treatment. If Lynch can pump out two more in the series in the next three years as he has planned, he'd only have 2 left in the series to finish. At that point, given his track record, I think it would be worth going after with the proper showrunners.

A Dark Tower series on HBO could be awesome

It really is. It would be perfect. Self contained stories, adventure, con men, violence...not overly "fantasy" yet.

The next book is done and should be out in early 2015. The 5th book should definitely be done by the time GOT is off the air.

Anything that is overly "fantasy-esque" won't be done, like Wheel of Time.
