Screen After Reading

Join director Lenny Abrahamson, writer Meadhbh McHugh, and cast members Alison Oliver, Sasha Lane, Joe Alwyn, and Jemima Kirke as we dive into the making of Conversations With Friends, the second Sally Rooney adaptation from Abrahamson and BBC/Hulu.

Join author Audrey Niffenegger, writer/creator Steven Moffat, director David Nutter, and stars Rose Leslie and Theo James, as we go behind the scenes of taking a second go at bringing The Time Traveler's Wife to the screen and infusing the tragic love story with humor and whimsy.

Join author Sarah Dessen, writer-director Sofia Alvarez, and stars Emma Pasarow and Belmont Cameli as we break down the enduring appeal of YA storytelling and the magic of bringing Dessen's signature swoony books to the screen. Plus, EW writer Sydney Bucksbaum joins to explain why Sarah Dessen is the perfect YA author to adapt.

Join author Sarah Vaughan, director SJ Clarkson, co-creator and writer Melissa James Gibson, co-executive producers Bruna Papandrea and Liza Chasin, AND stars Michelle Dockery, Rupert Friend, Sienna Miller, and Naomi Scott, as we delve into bringing to life Netflix's Anatomy of a Scandal, a twisty tale of entitlement, consent, and privilege as explored through the eyes of its multiple distinct points of view.

The art of adaptation has a long history, and its even got its own category at the Oscars. But how do your favorite books make it the screen? How do you break down an inherently internal medium and make it visual, compelling, and vibrant? EW Senior Writer Maureen Lee Lenker takes us behind the scenes of some of the year's biggest screen adaptations talking to the people who made them — the cast, the writers, directors, and of course, the novelists themselves. SCREEN AFTER READING launches June 8th and new episodes will drop Wednesdays. Follow now so you don't miss a word.
