These Netflix Shows That Are Based On Books Will Have You Hooked To The Very Last Second

Welcome to the Up Next newsletter! Because you already love our Bustle newsletter, we thought you’d dig this one too, which has all the entertainment stories you need to sound in-the-know at parties. (Kidding… sort of.) But really, there’s a lot of #content out there these days, so we’re here to help you wade through the static and ensure all the actually worth-your-time stuff makes it on your radar. If that doesn’t appeal to you, no worries, just unsubscribe here. Read on for today's edition!

In case you missed the whole Marvel thing, the book-to-streaming-deal pipeline is stronger than ever; Netflix alone has cobbled together an impressive roster of shows that were novels first — Bridgerton, You, Maid, The Witcher — several of its brightest burning stars from the last few years. It’s ideal, really, because there’s nothing more satisfying reading the book to tide you over between seasons.
