You may have noticed that lately books seem to be inspiring the best new movies and TV series. And book lovers get it: Returning to familiar settings and memorable characters in a new way is exciting. Which actors are playing the lead roles? Will the costumes and sets live up to what you imagined? What creative changes will they make? The good news is that often, they live up to and even surpass our expectations. Just look at the long list of book-to-small-screen adaptations nominated for 2026 Emmy Awards in virtually every category from Best Drama to Lead Actress. It’s the best of TV, brought to you by books. So, whether you enjoy a comedy, drama, fantasy or thrillers, and if you haven’t read all these stories yet (or if it’s been a while), there’s an exciting read for you in our list.
