Perfect for miniseries or multiple seasons!\u00a0Little Fires Everywhere<\/em>,\u00a0Big Little Lies<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0You<\/em><\/a>\u00a0are among the best-selling books that made their way to the small screen in the form of TV adaptations.<\/p>\n Reese Witherspoon<\/strong><\/a> is at the center of many of the most successful TV shows based on books, thanks to her passion for bringing fresh stories to a new medium while also shining a light on writers with something unique to say. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to highlight authors who don\u2019t have a track record of selling a lot of books,\u201d the actress told\u00a0Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a>\u00a0of her book club in her April 2020 cover story. \u201cTo watch what happens to them is extraordinary, and really emotional for us.\u201d<\/p>\n The Oscar winner is responsible for optioning Liane Moriarty<\/strong>\u2019s\u00a0Big Little Lies<\/em>\u00a0and Celeste Ng<\/strong>\u2019s\u00a0Little Fires Everywhere<\/em>\u00a0for television. She not only stars in the projects but also executive produces.<\/p>\n \u201cI always knew from the time I was 7 that I wanted to be storyteller or an actor or a singer,\u201d Witherspoon recalled. \u201cOr a writer. I always wanted to be a writer. I think that\u2019s why I\u2019m in awe of writers because I\u2019ve tried to sit down and do it. I have ideas for stories all the time. I could never figure out how things ended. I always have ideas about how things begin but I never know how they end.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, adaptations must balance creating their own material and staying true to the source. One such example is\u00a0You<\/em>, which strays from Caroline Kepnes<\/strong>\u2019 novels<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s a show about love and obsession and where the line is between the two of those \u2014 and the character of Joe will always look outside himself<\/a> for this thing that completes him,\u201d showrunner Sera Gamble<\/strong> said on\u00a0Us Weekly<\/em>\u2019s \u201cWatch With Us\u201d podcast in January 2020. \u201cHe has the perplexity to see a girl and think that she\u2019s The One. I don\u2019t see any signs of stopping that, but we never want to make a season that feels like it\u2019s trying to replicate the one before.\u201d<\/p>\n
