Upcoming tv adaptations.

Curious what people are looking forward to. Steven Colbert is supposed to be heading an adaptation of Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber. And, there's been rumor of an adaptation of Guy Gavriel Kay's Fionavar Tapestry since about 2018. Kay was the young chap who worked with Christopher Tolkien to complete the Silmarillion.

Any other hopefuls out there?

The books are great sci-fi, and their author Martha Wells has an excellent fantasy series as well.

But that series is more bogged down than George RR Martin’s. And movie rights often turn out to be little more than a check and hope.
That said, I never expected Wheel of Time to get adapted.
