Collider has compiled a list of romance novels readers should catch up on before their television adaptations arrive, highlighting how books with rich characters and settings tend to make for strong TV source material. The piece points to a wave of upcoming adaptations, spanning a classic literary romance getting a fresh retelling and newer contemporary romance series being brought to streaming platforms for the first time.

Among the picks are Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", due as a new Netflix series starring Emma Corrin and Jack Lowden after previous adaptations including the 1995 Colin Firth version; Liz Tomforde's hockey romance "Mile High", the first Windy City novel, which Amazon MGM Studios is developing with the author executive producing; and Meryl Wilsner's sapphic soccer romance "Cleat Cute", also being adapted by Amazon MGM. The article notes Prime Video's track record with romance adaptations such as "The Summer I Turned Pretty" and "Off Campus" as context for these upcoming projects.
