TV adaptation
Televised book remake
A TV adaptation is a television series or film based on material from another medium—typically a novel, comic book, video game, or film.
The term emphasizes the process of reshaping source material for television's particular demands: The TV adaptation compressed three books into one season.
Adaptations inevitably differ from their sources, prompting endless debate about fidelity: Fans were divided on the TV adaptation's changes to the ending.
