Books are always a great inspiration to make plays, movies or even series. For this reason, many tend to have them on their radar in search of great success. For example, I'm sure you know that there are series based on books on Netflix.
But, if we ask you about the titles of some of them, could you tell us more than five of them? Don't worry, here we are going to leave you a list of those series based on books on Netflix so that you can sign your book. You know what they say: the book is a thousand times better than the movie (or, in this case, the series). Shall we start?
The Bridgertons
Source: Netflix
When the romantic series with erotic scenes burst onto Netflix, it was a complete success. And many realized that it was based on a novel. Or rather, in a series of novels. Julia Quinn's.
In this case, the books are based, each one of them, on the story of one of the Bridgerton brothers, in such a way that, although the protagonists are being lost, the fact that they appeared in the following ones, even briefly, it made him a part of the life of this family.
The Bridgertons on Netflix consists of two seasons and at the end of 2023 the third will be released, although this one skips a book.
The Witcher
Another of the series based on books on Netflix that we have is this fantasy full of magic. Although we do not know if the platform will continue with it after the downturn it has had with season three.
The Witcher was created by Andrzej Sapkowski in the books of the same name. Although, if you read the book you will realize that, in reality, it has little to do with the series. And it is that Netflix took a fairly large license to change elements, protagonists, settings...
If you are a video game player you will know that there is also a game of this character, Geralt de Rivia. However, this is not very close to what the book tells, but rather to the series.
into the night
We continue with more series based on books on Netflix. And this is one of which you can find his book. This is The Old Age of Axolotl, by Jacek Dukaj.
If you don't know the series or the book, you should know that it is science fiction. In it we find that the Sun has finished with the living beings of the planet. However, there are a few survivors who will have to avoid dying. To do this, your goal is to reach the north to take refuge in the dark.
House of cards
This title that surely sounds familiar to you and perhaps you have seen on Netflix, too It is the first title in the trilogy by Michael Dobbs, who released the book in the late XNUMXs. However, it was so liked that in 2013 they decided to make a series that has been one of the longest (six seasons and just over seventy episodes).
In it we are going to meet Frank Underwood, a man who is rising in power through corporate control.
The Sinner

Something similar to The Witcher happens to this Netflix series. That is to say, during the first chapters it faithfully follows (with some minimal licenses) what happens in Petra Hammesfahr's novel. However, there comes a time when it is the imagination of Netflix who takes the story to propose another way of approaching the story.
As for the plot, we find a detective who returns to his hometown to investigate a murder, that of some parents at the hands of their son.
Lady's gambit
Another of the book-based series on Netflix, which was also a success when it premiered, was this one. What not many knew is that it is based on the novel of the same name by Walter Tevis. Nor that this was published in 1983.
In it we find a girl, a chess prodigy, and what her life is like from the time she is little until she gets to compete with some of the greats of chess. Of course, some licenses are taken.
The snow girl
Getting closer to Spanish writers, Netflix looked at Javier Castillo and his book of the same name to release the series in 2023.
Something short, since It only has eight episodes, it tells us the story of the book, of a kidnapping of a girl and how the family, as well as the police and a journalist, will try to find out what happened that day of the Three Kings Parade in Malaga.
Fariña
One of the most controversial books that has been published in Spain has been Fariña. Even more so when Antena 3 announced an adaptation of Nacho Carretero's book.
Well, Although the series was not produced by Netflix, it can be seen on the platform.
Regarding the plot, it follows the story of Sito Miñanco, and how he made Galicia the place where all the drugs distributed in Europe entered.
The curse of Hill House
In this case we go to terror. In the 50s, Shirley Jackson published the novel The Haunting of Hill House, translated in Spain by the title it leads. AND Netflix looked at that book to get a series, although it is not really the only one. In fact, you can find several film adaptations such as The Haunted House or The Curse.
But the series is said to be one of the best.
you
Finally, another of the book-based series on Netflix is You. The creator of this character is Caroline Kepnes and in her pages you can see some very, very strong situations, perhaps more than you find in the series.

For a more adolescent audience, Netflix also looks at books. Specifically, for this series, it was Charles Forsman who gained favor with the platform to adapt the book of the same name.
In it you find Sydney, a teenager who has to deal with the usual problems of age, high school... but also with discovering that he has superpowers and that he has to master them so as not to cause problems.
It is quite short, not only in number of chapters, but also in their duration.
Lupine, Sherlock, Firefly Lane, XNUMX Reasons Why, The Cathedral of the Sea... As you can see, there are many series based on books on Netflix. Can you quote us any more that we have left out?
