Its not a series, just a standalone book but I would love to see a stop motion movie of the magnum opus. It's a book that was written by the makers of a stop motion short called the maker. I would love to see what they could do with a proper budget

Ender's Game.
Hate the author, love the series. I've never been more angry with a movie, and a TV series with someone that's actually read the books BUT has also largely disassociated from OSC would go a long way towards repairing things.
The Webnovel "Mother of Learning" It has four arcs. Each arc is long enough to be made into two seasons, each containing 8 episodes.
I would watch a well made series based on the Parker novels by Richard Stark.
Dragonlance is a good one.
- Wheel of Time
- Mistborn
- The Uplift Saga
- The Alex Benedict Series
This happened for me with wheel of Time. Be careful what you wish for.
The Gentlemen Bastards series could work well: Not too much CGI needed, and fancy rennaisance italy aesthetics deserve a fantasy show about thieving orphans!
There's been talk multiple times of turning the Matthew Corbett series by Robert R. McCammon into a series.
I could see every book being turned into a maybe 10 episode season.
The Gaunt's Ghosts Warhammer 40,000 stories.
If I were allowed some creative direction, I would specify that unless it was there in the source material there will be zero scenes of people just explaining shit instead of showing it
Warrior Cats. Talked about it with a friend the other day, I think an animated show would work best
Jhereg series by Steven Brust
- Lord Valentine’s Castle, et al, by Robert Silverberg
- The Silicon Mage series by Barbara Hambly
- The Time of the Dark series by Barbara Hambly
- The Cliff Hardy series by Peter Corris
None.
I don't see what making a film or TV series adds to any book, all they ever seem to do is a disservice to the original story in the attempt to squeeze as much money from it as possible.
I'd rather more fully voice acted audiobooks were made staying more true to the original texts but adding that extra element to draw you in than just one narrator trying to differentiate characters with different voices.

It's that last part that effs it up. For example, I really liked Luhrman's Romeo+Juliet. That was a creative interpretation. I enjoyed Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I thought the books were decent, but the movie captured the best bits, IMO. Early seasons of Game of Thrones were good. I like some of the changes made to move the internal dialog to conversations. It gave the side characters more life.
It's when the artistic vision is cast aside in the name of profit, then the work of art suffers.
The Commonwealth Saga (Pandora’s Star and Judas Unchained) by Peter F. Hamilton would make a great serialized TV drama.
I feel like a Dark Elf Trilogy could only bring disappointment
Tunnels hands down
