The works of Almudena Grandes, Cristina Morales, JRR Tolkien, Don DeLillo and Sally Rooney, among the most anticipated series and films


The release date in many cases is still up in the air and some filming is late, omicron through, but there is no doubt that 2022 will perpetuate the fruitful idyll that the audiovisual medium maintains with literature. The new vintage will bring to the screens this year the series adaptation of the novel by Almudena Grandes

The patients of doctor García

(co-production of RTVE, Diagonal TV and DeAplaneta with the participation of Netflix), the fourth installment of the works that the writer dedicated to the Civil War and the postwar period. Also in 2022, the version of

The new versions of classics that have already been adapted seem to be another of the rising trends, for example with

Brideshead Revisited,

the novel by Evelyn Waugh that served as the basis for a memorable series, and that now Luca Guadagnino dares to revisit, with a cast that includes Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett and Ralph Fiennes. The adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel

Death on the Nile

will also be released , with Kenneth Branagh again as Detective Poirot. Patricia Highsmith, whose diaries will be published in 2022, returns to the screens twice. His novel

Deep Waters

will be directed by Adrian Lyne and starring Ben Afleck and Ana de Armas, while the

It will star Andrew Scott and Dakota Fanning.

There will also be in 2022, in what already seems almost a tradition, a version of a work by Jane Austen, in this case the novel

Persuasion,

which will star Dakota Johnson.

And everything indicates that this will also be the year in which

Guillermo del Toro 's film

Pinnocchio is released.

Come, see and read.
