2018 will be continuing the trend set forth by Big Little Lies and The Handmaid's Tale. Many highly anticipated forthcoming TV shows are also based on books. Sharp Objects will be HBO's answer to Gone Girl – it's based on a Gillian Flynn book.

Read on for the most exciting book-to-TV adaptations coming up this year.
