Longform Adaptations
Many of our favorite TV shows and films began as long-form journalism :)
Here are some of my favorite longform adaptations:
- Tiger King began as a Texas Monthly article
- The Fast and Furious franchise began as a Vibe article
- Nomadland (2020) began as a Harper's article
- Nice White Parents began as this longform podcast called Three Miles
- Blue Crush began as this Susan Orlean-reported article
Predictions of which longform articles will be adapted into TV shows or films:
