2022 books to movies and tv adaptations coming soon

Book adaptations slated for book to movie or TV releases for 2022 are starting to set release dates. Here are all the Book to Movies or TV for 2022 coming soon that have been announced so far.

Note that this list only includes titles that have been affirmatively announced for 2022 or where there’s a high likelihood of it being released (such as if it’s in the process of filming). I’ll of course be updating this list as titles get slated into release dates or other announcements are made.

For book adaptation that are in development (but may not necessarily happen at all or won’t happen for quite some time), see Books to Film section.

Also, see here for the 2021 Books to Film list.

Deep Water (IMDB)
Release Date: 2022

Death on the Nile (IMDB)
Release Date: February 22
Format: Movie

Death on the Nile Adaptation Starring Kenneth Branaugh

Kenneth Branagh is reprising his role as Agatha Christie’s Belgian detective in Death on the Nile. His previous outing as Poirot, Murder on the Orient Express, also released by Fox, grossed over $100 million domestically and close to $250 million internationally.

I was a little underwhelmed by the Murder on the Orient Express movie, though it was beautifully shot. I thought the pacing was a little off, and the tone of it was a little dull. But I love, love, love Agatha Christie, so I’m happy to give a different movie another shot.

Gal Gadot, Tom Bateman, Arnie Hammer, Annette Bening and Letitia Wright will also make appearances in Death on the Nile.

In Death on the Nile, Poirot is crusing along the Nile (obviously) when a newlywed heiress is found dead. With a ship full of people who have reason to dislike her, Poirot has his work cut out for him as he investigates her death.

The Nightingale (IMDB)
Release Date: December 23, 2022
Format: Movie

the nightingale kristin hannah movie adaptation

Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale is finally, FINALLY making the jump to the big screen.

Book lovers have been clamoring for this adaptation for so long, so I really hope they do it justice. Talented real-life sisters Dakota Fanning and Elle Fanning are set to star in the movie, so I think that bodes well for it.

It was originally in pre-production in March 2020, but it got put on halt as movies around the world were put on pause. But at least you know they were serious about getting this movie off the ground, so I’m hopeful this one will actually be released in 2021.

The Wonder (IMDB)
Release Date: 2022
Format: Movie

First Look at Florence Pugh in The Wonder

First Look at Florence Pugh in The Wonder

Emma Donoghue’s The Wonder is is post-production (as of late 2021), so a 2022 release for this movie starring Florence Pugh is expected.

English nurse Lib Wright is brought to a tiny village to observe eleven-year old Anna O’Donnell. Tourists and pilgrims mass to witness the girl who is said to have survived without food for months.

Netflix’s adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasion began filming in May 2021, which means it will mostly likely have a release date in late 2021 or (more likely) sometime in 2022.

Dakota Johnson will star as protagonist Anne Elliot. The male lead will be played by Cosmo Jarvis (as Captain Frederick Wentworth).

The cast also includes other notable names such as Richard E. Grant, Henry Golding and Suki Waterhouse.

The Stars at Noon (IMDB)
Release Date: 2022
Format: Movie

The Stars at Noon movie adaptation

The Stars at Noon by Denis Johnson is getting a movie adaptation that will star Robert Pattinson and Margaret Qualley.

From the Publisher: “Set in Nicaragua in 1984, The Stars at Noon is a story of passion, fear, and betrayal told in the voice of an American woman whose mission in Central America is as shadowy as her surroundings. Is she a reporter for an American magazine as she sometimes claims, or a contact person for Eyes of Peace? And who is the rough English businessman with whom she becomes involved? As the two foreigners become entangled in increasingly sinister plots, Denis Johnson masterfully dramatizes a powerful vision of spiritual bereavement and corruption.”

Pinnochio (Stop-Motion Animated) (IMDB)
Release Date: 2022
Format: Movie

Guillermo del Toro‘s spin on the classic tale of Pinnochio (originally authored by Carlo Collodi in 1883) is expected to hit theaters in 2022. Note that the original Pinnochio story is quite different from the Disney version, so I would expect something a little darker than the story you may be familiar with.

See the link below for a first look at this stop-motion animated film.

Pinnochio (Disney Live Action) (IMDB)
Release Date: 2022
Format: Movie (Disney Plus)

No, that’s not a typo. There are TWO Pinnochio movies that are currently slated for a 2022 release. It sounds like they will be fairly different stories though. This one is the Disney version, directed by Robert Zemekis.

The Power (IMDB)
Release Date: 2022 (Estimated)
Format: Limited Series (Amazon Studios)

Amazon’s The Power limited series adaptation is currently in post-production as of November 2021, so a 2022 release seems likely.

The Power is about a group of teenage girls mysteriously develop a special power that allows them to electrocute people at will. It stars Alice Eve, Leslie Mann and John Leguizamo, among others.

The Time Traveler’s Wife (IMDB)
Release Date: 2022 (Estimated)
Format: Limited Series (HBO)

time travelers wife hbo

An HBO series adaptation of The Time Traveler’s Wife began filming in early 2021, so I’m guessing it’ll be released late 2021 or more likely sometime in 2022. It’s been reported to be a priority project for HBO, and it stars Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones) and Theo James (Divergent, Sanditon).

Kindred (IMDB)
Release Date: 2022 or 2023 (Estimated)
Format: Limited Series on FX

kindred octavia butler tv series fx

It’s possible this will be closer to 2023, but as of 2021, the Kindred FX Series is in pre-production. That seems to indicate that a 2022 release may be possible. The series will star Mallori Johnson and is set to be directed by Janicza Bravo.

From the Hollywood Reporter: In Kindred by Octavia E. Butler, Dana is “a young Black woman and aspiring writer who has left her life of familial obligation and moved to Los Angeles. But before she can get settled into her new home, she finds herself being violently pulled back and forth in time to a 19th century plantation with which she and her family are most surprisingly and intimately linked. An interracial romance threads through her past and present, and the clock is ticking as she struggles to confront the secrets she never knew ran through her blood.”

See Kindred on Amazon

So, that’s what’s on the docket so far. A lot of these titles were originally slated for 2021 and were pushed to 2022 for what were most likely pandemic-related reasons. There are also some adaptations that are currently slated for 2021, but will most likely get pushed to 2022. I’ll update this list if that happens.

What do you think, will you be watching these? Drop a comment below with your thoughts!
