It’s not yet known in what order the novels will be adapted. There are 41 novels to choose from after all, and the reading order depends on the reader. According to Variety, the adaptations will remain “absolutely faithful” to the source text. After BBC’s The Watch, which received a lot of criticism for how much the story was changed, this is a welcome bit of news. Unlike with The Watch adaptation, Narrativia will have an active hand in creating these stories, so we can breathe easy. It seems likely that this project will leave the development stage and we’ll be able to watch it as much as we like; as Tor.Com points out, there are a lot of streaming services out there and they’re all looking for content that will bring in viewers. And if anything will bring in new viewers, it’s Discworld and Terry Pratchett’s wonderful satirical writing. Pratchett has a lot of fans (myself included) who will not shut up about him.
