This book focuses on the significantly under-explored relationship
between televisual culture and adaptation studies in what is now
commonly regarded as the 'Golden Age' of contemporary TV drama.
Adaptable TV: Rewiring the Text does not simply concentrate on
traditional types of adaptation, such as reboots, remakes and sequels,
but broadens the scope of enquiry to examine a diverse range of
experimental adaptive types that are emerging within an ever-changing TV
landscape. With a particular focus on the serial narrative form, and
with case studies that include Penny Dreadful, Fargo, The Night Of
and Orange is the New Black, this study is essential reading for
anyone who is interested in the complex interplay between television
studies and adaptation studies.
