Top BookTok hits set to become blockbuster movies and TV shows: From Verity to The Housemaid

The rise of BookTok has revolutionized the publishing world, with viral book recommendations propelling authors like Colleen Hoover and Freida McFadden to stardom. The social media platform's influence has now reached Hollywood, with several bestselling novels getting the movie and TV adaptation treatment.

From Verity by Colleen Hoover to The Housemaid by Freida McFadden, these BookTok favorites are being adapted into films and shows starring A-list talent. Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried will headline The Housemaid under the direction of Paul Feig, telling the gripping story of a young woman discovering dark secrets while working for a wealthy couple.

Fantasy romance also dominates BookTok, and Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses is one of the most eagerly awaited TV adaptations, though Hulu’s project has seen delays. Meanwhile, Reminders of Him and Regretting You, both Colleen Hoover hits, are set for movie adaptations, with big names like Allison Williams and McKenna Grace joining the cast.

Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing will also bring the world of "romantasy" to the screen, as Amazon develops this dragon-filled saga, helmed by Breaking Bad writer Moira Walley-Beckett.

The success of these adaptations is sure to build on BookTok's powerhouse reputation, bringing beloved stories to wider audiences.
