WOOL series


I know Ridley Scott bought the rights on the first book but if done right, a wool series would be incredible

Child 44 trilogy. I know they did a movie out of book 1 but the whole series in carry good and could be done very well over a few seasons.

Dark Souls or Bloodborne.

itd be like Lost with one story in the present moving forwards with each episode featuring a flashback storyline tying into the episode's present storyline predicament.

Would love to see The Destroyer book series (Remo Williams) portrayed in a TV series. May be too much source material though - over 150 novels.

They aren’t well known now, but Kenneth Roberts wrote some amazing fiction related to the Revolutionary War, I think they would make for outstanding TV.


AMC did 4 seasons of “TURN: Washington’s Spies”, which was an excellent but underrated series. The source material for it was true to life, but they took enough liberties with it that you could call it highly fictionalized.

Noir stuff

I would love to see a series made from The Parker novels by Richard Stark (Donald E. Westlake) Payback was great.

Yeah I was going to say a TV-MA Star Wars series, but there is no chance of that now that Disney has a grip on it

HBO could give First Law a pretty good rogering.


I think first law would translate to the screen much better than WoT.

No surprise but a Drizzt Series, so tons of material, but it would have to have a big budget.
