OTT platforms have taken it upon themselves to adapt hugely well-liked medieval-genre novels that have a great following on paper. The beauty of fiction is that it can take you to another planet and time with its story, characters, and meticulous world-building.
Time travel to the past with these OTT releases that bring medieval classics to life. Here is a list of five such books-to-film and television-to-series adaptations that the public adores!
1. BRIDGERTON SERIES
Bridgerton Novel Series by Julia Quinn
Where to Watch: Netflix
This eight-part series, which takes place in high society in London between 1813 and 1827, chronicles the stories of the Bridgerton family. Executive producers of the series, a Netflix adaptation of the same name, are Shonda Rhimes and Sarah Dollard. The OTT platform has released the first two seasons of the show, which stars Rege-Jean Page, Phoebe Dynevor, Jonathan Bailey, Simone Ashley, Charithra Chandran, and many others, and is preparing for a third.
2. MY POLICEMAN
Novel: My Policeman by Bethan Roberts
Where to Watch: Prime Video
The story of two characters whose lives are irrevocably altered by their obsession with Tom, a policeman, is told in this book, which is set in 1950s Brighton. An award-winning director, Michael Grandage, translated the book into a movie of the same name, starring Harry Styles, Emma Corrin, and David Dawson. The movie, which was a Prime Video production, had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and was then shown in a few theatres before making its streaming service debut.
