Be on the lookout for our in-depth review of The Love Hypothesis, a Prime Video film adaptation of Ali Hazelwood’s bestselling romance novel about an upbeat biology grad student at Stanford University and a no-nonsense professor who enter into a fake-dating scheme. (An intriguing side note: The novel began its life as Star Wars fanfiction.) The movie stars Riverdale’s Lili Reinhart and Based on a True Story’s Tom Bateman, and it premieres on Sept. 23. In the meantime, here are four more book-to-screen adaptations coming soon:

Sept. 11: Practical Magic 2 (theatrical film premiere)

The movie sequel is based on Alice Hoffman’s The Book of Magic, her 2021 follow-up to her 1995 bestseller Practical Magic, about two witch sisters, Sally and Gillian Owens, in modern-day Massachusetts. The first book was made into a hit film in 1998, starring Sandra Bullock as Sally and Nicole Kidman as Gillian; both stars return in this sequel, which was helmed by Susanne Bier (who won an Emmy for directing the lively first season of the BBC/AMC/Prime Video series The Night Manager). In the new film, the sisters set out to help Sally’s daughter, Kylie (The Kissing Booth’s Joey King), who’s trying to break a deadly family curse. The fine cast also includes Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing, who return as the Owens’ aunts (who are also witches), and the always-entertaining Lee Pace (Foundation) as an academic with a keen interest in magic.

Sept. 15: Agatha Christie’s Tommy & Tuppence (series premiere, BritBox)

Even the most casual mystery fan is familiar with Agatha Christie’s most famous sleuths, Miss Jane Marple and Hercule Poirot, who appeared in 12 and 33 novels, respectively, as well as numerous shorter tales. Tommy Beresford and Prudence “Tuppence” Cowley, however, are less well-known, although they starred in four novels of their own, including The Secret Adversary (1922), N or M? (1949), By the Pricking of My Thumbs (1968), and the last novel Christie wrote, Postern of Fate (1973), as well as the 1929 short-story collection Partners In Crime. Tuppence is impulsive and intuitive, and Tommy is more grounded, but they complement each other well, and the longtime friends marry after the events of the first novel. Unlike Marple and Poirot, they also age between books, so the 20-somethings of The Secret Adversary are senior citizens in Postern of Fate. This new streaming series—starring  Antonia Thomas (Misfits) and Josh Dylan (who had a small role as author Helen Macdonald’s brother in H Is for Hawk)—places the pair, both in their 30s, in present-day London to solve multiple mysteries, but, if the trailer is any indication, their dynamic appears to be quite the same.

Sept. 16: Neagley (series premiere, Prime Video)

We recently gave a positive review to Season 4 of the Prime Video show Reacher, which is based on Lee Child’s 2009 novel Gone Tomorrow—the 13th installment of the author’s long-running book series featuring drifter detective Jack Reacher. This new spinoff series focuses on tough private eye Frances Neagley, who appears in several of Child’s novels and the first three seasons of Reacher, played with gusto by Swamp Thing’s Maria Sten. This first season, set in the Chicago area, isn’t based on a specific book. In it, an old friend of Neagley’s dies in an apparent suicide; he’d been involved in a strange cult, and the PI rightly suspects that his death was the result of foul play. As in Reacher, many fights ensue, but Sten’s committed performance as the standoffish, wisecracking title character is the series highlight. Greyston Holt (Alcatraz, The Night Agent) is also solid as Chicago police detective Hudson Riley.

Sept. 25: The Final Problem (series premiere, Netflix)

Spanish author Arturo Pérez-Reverte is best known for his popular Captain Alatriste historical adventure novels, but the book on which this new series is based—translated into English by Frances Riddle in its Kirkus-starred U.S. edition, published this year—tells a wholly different, standalone tale. It’s set in 1960 on a small Greek island, where Ormon Basil, an aging actor who’s most famous for portraying Sherlock Holmes, must solve a locked-room mystery with the help of mystery author Francisco Foxá. (Devoted Sherlockians will note that the series shares a title with Arthur Conan Doyle’s controversial 1893 story, in which Holmes plunges to his death at Switzerland’s Reichenbach Falls—or does he?) The show stars Spanish actors José Coronado (The Innocent) as Basil and Martiño Rivas (Cable Girls) as Foxá. It also features the always-excellent Maria Valverde (Fever Dream) in a secondary role.
