Your choice whether you are writing the screenplay, directing, ... or hiring someone for these things. Also assume permission from the original work's author(s), of course.

There's so many I can think of because there are just too many books that have such a great story or good characters.

I recently finished Some Desperate Glory and can imagine it as a TV series.

Admittedly, some of the works I have enjoyed I selfishly do not want another version of it: Project Hail Mary (movie coming out with Ryan Gosling), dungeon crawler carl they're trying to make live action. I could go for animated but unsure about live action.

Apple has picked up a bunch of book based TV shows. I read but haven't seen Pachinko.
