As original as some Apple TV shows may seem, they are secretly based on books you did not know about.

Some of the best shows on Apple TV from every genre are based on books. From gripping thrillers like Slow Horses to compelling sci-fi dramas like Silo , many offerings on the streaming service were derived from novels. When it comes to shows like Silo , Slow Horses , Dark Matter , and Foundation , it is well known that they adapt books.

However, when it comes to a handful of other shows on Apple TV, viewers would be surprised to know that they, too, do not deliver original stories. Instead, they either accurately adapt a book or loosely draw ideas from acclaimed or best-selling novels.
