On June 2, 2026, Netflix launched “Watch Your Favorite Books” — a brand-new, globally available hub that turns its massive library of book-to-screen adaptations into one beautifully organised destination.

Why Netflix Built This Hub
In 2025 alone, book-based titles drove more than 9 billion global views, making up nearly 20% of all hours watched on Netflix. That’s not a niche — that’s a movement. Four of Netflix’s most-watched English-language series of all time are based on books, including The Queen’s Gambit, Bridgerton seasons one and three, and His & Hers. Film adaptations Bird Box, Leave the World Behind, and The Gray Man also rank among the most-watched English-language movies ever on the platform.
Netflix’s Senior Director of Product Merchandising, Mansi Patel, put it simply: the hub is built to help fans “explore their favorites and find more stories they’ll love” in “one engaging, immersive space.”

Upcoming adaptations in the pipeline include Little House on the Prairie, Pride & Prejudice, East of Eden, and The Twilight Saga: Midnight Sun — which means the hub is only going to get more stacked.
