Television adaptation refers to the process of transforming a story from another medium, such as a book, movie, or play, into a television series. This involves reimagining the original content to fit the episodic format of TV, often expanding on characters and plotlines to engage viewers over multiple episodes. Popular examples include adaptations of novels like Game of Thrones and The Handmaid's Tale. These adaptations can bring new life to beloved stories, allowing audiences to experience them in a different way. However, they can also face challenges, such as staying true to the original material while making necessary changes for the screen. Successful adaptations often attract both fans of the original work and new viewers.
