Here are 2023's most anticipated book adaptations!
2023 is already shaping up to be an exciting year for readers with plenty of highly-anticipated book releases, but there's even more in store!
This year will mark the arrival of several long-awaited film adaptations of some of the most popular books around.
While seeing your favorite book adapted can be a nerve-wracking experience, the first looks at these upcoming projects seem to be doing real justice to the beloved source material.
From big-screen blockbusters to small-screen streamers, there's an adaptation for everyone coming in 2023.
Knock at the Cabin
2023 kicks off with a movie for all the horror fans out there. Knock at the Cabin is an adaptation of Paul Tremblay's 2018 novel The Cabin at the End of the World.
The film, which is directed by M. Night Shyamalan, stars Jonathan Groff and Ben Aldridge as a couple who vacation at a remote cabin with their young daughter.
The pair is met with some unexpected visitors who signal the impending apocalypse, forcing them to make a major sacrifice in order to stay alive.
Also featuring Harry Potter's Rupert Grint and Glass Onion star Dave Bautista, the movie is a must-see for any fan of Tremblay's novel!
Knock at the Cabin hits theaters on February 3.
Daisy Jones & The Six
BookTok darling Taylor Jenkins Reid is getting her first on-screen adaptation with Daisy Jones & the Six.
The novel, which will be adapted as a miniseries, follows a fictional rock n' roll band in the 1970s as they navigate newfound fame.
Daisy Jones & the Six lends itself perfectly for adaptation, as the book is written as a script from a fictional documentary about the band.
Last month, Vanity Fair gave a first look at the glitzy series, which stars Riley Keough as leading lady Daisy Jones, and Sam Claflin as rock star Billy Dunne.
Readers can finally rock out with Daisy Jones & the Six on March 3 on Amazon Prime.
Shadow and Bone Season Two
The return of the Grishaverse has finally been confirmed with the exciting news that Shadow and Bone season two will be arriving in early 2023.
The TV adaptation combines the Shadow and Bone and the Six of Crows fantasy series by Leigh Bardugo.
The sophomore season will introduce some fan-favorite characters, including Wylan, played by Jack Wolfe, and Nikolai, played by Patrick Gibson.
As expected, season two will adapt Siege and Storm, the second book of the Shadow and Bone trilogy. However, the showrunners surprised fans with the revelation that the season will also incorporate elements of the trilogy's finale, Ruin and Rising.
All eight episodes of Shadow and Bone season two will arrive on Netflix on March 16.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
Tributes, rejoice! The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, the 2020 prequel to The Hunger Games trilogy, is hitting the screen in late 2023.
Starring Tom Blyth as a young President Snow, the movie will follow the character while he serves as a mentor in the 10th Hunger Games.
The novel explores the history of the annual games and provides poignant insight into Snow's journey to villainy.
Starring alongside Blyth in the film is West Side Story star Rachel Zegler, as well as Hunter Schafer, Peter Dinklage, and Viola Davis.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will arrive in theaters on November 17.
Heartstopper Season Two
The smash-hit adaptation of Alice Oseman's graphic novel series Heartstopper is set to return this year for its second season.
With the first season covering the first two volumes of the series, season two is expected to adapt volume three.
The third installment picks up with the love story of Nick and Charlie, but it will also introduce a few new faces and even follow the gang on a summer trip to Paris!
While a release date has yet to be announced, Netflix recently confirmed that it would arrive in 2023.
