Netflix is no stranger to book adaptations — both in TV show and movie form. In fact, book adaptations drove over 4.5B global views for the streamer in the first half of 2025 alone.
Adaptations represented almost 20% of total view hours in the first half of the year, and the Global Top 10 lists have featured a book adaptation every week this year according to the streamer, whether it be the film based on Ruth Ware’s thriller The Woman in Cabin 10 or Season 2 of My Life With the Walter Boys based on the book of the same name by Ali Novak. Ransom Canyon , a newer series Netflix bet on back in 2022 that has some similarities to Walter Boys , saw its first season come to the small screen in April to promising numbers as well, lassoing a second season later on in the year.
