Netflix is my all time favorite streaming service. Recently Netflix started to develop their own content, otherwise known as Netflix Originals. This is very exciting because some of their original content is based on books, comics, and manga. If you are looking for your next read, why not watch it first? Or read then watch the show.

Here are is a list of some of the original content based on reading material. By no means is this a complete list, but it is a good starting point! The title of the show/movie is listed below and hyperlinked to the Goodreads page of the book the show is based on. Happy reading~

13 Reasons Why

1992

 

Longmire is not a Netflix Orginal show, but I included it anyway. The comics I picked for the shows that are based off the comics are the first issues and may not be correct because Goodreads is a tad wonky when it comes to comics and manga.

There is a lot of content on Netflix based on books/comics/manga/the written word, but I did not think it was wise to make a list of all the shows/movie because they might be taken down. A post is coming soon about soon to be Netflix shows based on books!!

Did I miss a show/movie based on a book? Tell me! Looking forward to a book coming to Netflix?
