Even better, Hobb has actually finished all the books in the series already, so fans won’t be left hanging, wondering if the showrunners will mess it up when they leave the original source material behind. Think Game of Thrones with a bit less incest but just as much murder.

Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb Rex Features/Gary Ogden Seriously, choose anyone: there are more than enough roles to go around. Starring: An ensemble of great British actors feature in the cast, including Sean Bean, obviously, and Jodie Whittaker. Over the next 13 years, through the changing seasons, the aftershocks of tragedy affect the lives of those in the village. Villagers join the search for her, scouring nearby moors and reservoirs, but she is never found. Not a novelised sequel to Tarantino’s movie, this is a book about a young girl on holiday in a quiet English village who disappears. (And don’t worry: There are no spoilers ahead, so you’ll be able to binge them all when Netflix invariably take note and nick all our ideas.)

Sherlock Holmes? Fuck off, Sherlock Go Holmes more like. Despite what producers would have you believe, there’s more to book adaptations on the small screen than Game of Thrones and endless – genuinely endless – remakes of Pride & Prejudice.
