The whole Dragonlance series.
It has everything! Love, friendship, sacrifice, grief, betrayal, complicated situation (looking at you Raistlin) and the best creature in the whole world, Tasslehoff.)

The Webnovel "Mother of Learning" It has four arcs. Each arc is long enough to be made into two seasons, each containing 8 episodes.
The Gaunt's Ghosts Warhammer 40,000 stories.
If I were allowed some creative direction, I would specify that unless it was there in the source material there will be zero scenes of people just explaining shit instead of showing it
Ender's Game.
Hate the author, love the series. I've never been more angry with a movie, and a TV series with someone that's actually read the books BUT has also largely disassociated from OSC would go a long way towards repairing things.
The Gentlemen Bastards series could work well: Not too much CGI needed, and fancy rennaisance italy aesthetics deserve a fantasy show about thieving orphans!
None.
I don't see what making a film or TV series adds to any book, all they ever seem to do is a disservice to the original story in the attempt to squeeze as much money from it as possible.
I'd rather more fully voice acted audiobooks were made staying more true to the original texts but adding that extra element to draw you in than just one narrator trying to differentiate characters with different voices.

Or just everything around Agent Pendergast

I've heard it's bad. I can't personally say, never watched it.
Jhereg series by Steven Brust
Its not a series, just a standalone book but I would love to see a stop motion movie of the magnum opus. It's a book that was written by the makers of a stop motion short called the maker. I would love to see what they could do with a proper budget

I'd love the Wayfarer's series to be a collection of short TV shows. They could do like 6 hour long episodes per book. It would great
I would watch a well made series based on the Parker novels by Richard Stark.
This happened for me with wheel of Time. Be careful what you wish for.

I really don't know about this one. I love the books, and with their success they've genome a bit more compatible with a screen adaptation, but a lot of it, and especially the first one, is a lot of internal monologue. In addition, the space physics and combat are amazing, but don't translate into visuals easily either. Like I said, love the story, and pains me to say it. Some stories are just not made for the screen, and I think this is one.
