The Best Books Being Adapted for TV in 2023: Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Historical and Crime

"The 'Coming Soon to TV' shelf in your local bookshop will be sagging under the weight of this lot – the thrillers, sci-fi stories, crime novels and non-fiction currently being adapted for television. If you prefer to read ahead before your imagination is sullied by the small screen version, then here's where to start, from Apple TV+'s adaptation of 1950s-set revenge comedy Lessons in Chemistry and psychological thriller The Crowded Room, to Prime Video's new Neil Gaiman show Anansi Boys and rumoured Kay Scarpetta series, via Netflix's true-life opioid drama Painkiller, ITVX/MGM+ historical adventure series The Winter King and many more. Many many more."
