Hit TV Shows Based on Books That You Should Watch Right Away

Dante Albidone, Aidan Gallagher, Cameron Brodeur, Eden Cupid, Ethan Hwang, and Blake Talabis in "The Umbrella Academy"

We enjoy watching a good TV show based on a book after reading that book. If you need ideas for your next binge-session, we have some.

The Passage

Based on the trilogy by Justin Cronin, The Passage tells a story of Project Noah, a secret medical facility where scientists experiment with a virus that could cure all disease or wipe out the human race.

The Umbrella Academy

On one day in 1989, 43 random women from all over the world gave birth to children without being pregnant the day before. Billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopts seven of them and creates the Umbrella Academy. The kids grow apart but reconnect after many years to resolve their father’s death. The show was based on comic book series created and written by Gerard Way.

Shrill

Based on the writer, comedian and activist Lindy West’s book Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman, the show follows the story about a woman who decides to change her life without changing her body.
