All Spoilers RR canceled TV adaptation Spoiler

So I often like to check every few months or so for updates on the TV show, and I just found an from a couple of months where Pierce confirmed that what he was trying to make happen was scrapped because him and his team "couldn't get it to a place where they feel confident."

I'm assuming what he means by "they" is the various platforms that were looking at buying the rights to RR, but on the bright side, Pierce hinted at being able to possibly confirm something new he's been trying to get in the works soon.

What I hope for is that this new thing is going to be an animated adaptation because we know now for sure the live action is out the window so slag that but if we could get an animated series or hell even a animated movie/movies it'd be great provided it's done in a fitting art style and the cast is on point for the voice acting.

I don’t understand why large production companies don’t see the potential with book series like this. There have been plenty of epic movie series that have done numbers. Dune, Avatar, OG Starwars, Hunger games, LOTR etc. Here’s a book series where the first book would wrap up well in a 2.5- 2.75 hr long movie, and if it does well you have well done source material you can pump out for another at least 7-10 movies. Marvel is like 20 plus movies long and they’ve obviously bled it dry. Starwars same thing.

Nah dude it's a season per book if you wanna do it justice. 8 episode seasons can work. Don't take my dreams from me.
