Reply to comment by stringrandom in Stephen Colbert to Produce Series Adaptation Of Roger Zelanzny’s Sci-Fi Novels ‘The Chronicles Of Amber’ by Neo2199

Probably being true to a story does not make a good premium drama. It is a start, but it's not enough to be optimistic over. It's all about who makes it and, of course, how well they execute.

Very true and having reread the whole thing not that long ago, I can immediately foresee some likely changes to Flora, and many of the female characters to bring them along from the 1970s-80s, at a minimum. The production is still so far away at this point that I’m going to choose to be warily optimistic that it will get the full 60-100 episodes required and with a sufficient budget to do it right. Or, at least they’ll make it Corwin’s story.

In the worst case scenario, we’ll get The Witcher or Wheel of Time treatment and we’ll wish it never happened. Best case, we get LOTR or The Expanse.
