Page to Screen Adaptations Coming in 2024

Everyone has feelings about film and TV adaptations of their favorite books, good or bad, binge-watch or hate-watch (you know you’ve done it). We’re in the screen-adaptations-bring-new-readers-to-books camp (American Fiction! The Color Purple! The Boys in the Boat!) and 2023 saw some fresh new takes on books we love like Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam, the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan or The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins. From big screens to little screens, some great books are leaping off the page in 2024.
And keep checking back: we update this page whenever we hear about a new project we’re super excited about!
