These 2024
Emmy
Awards nominees will keep
you
fully
booked.
After
all,
so many
of
this
year’s Emmy-nominated TV shows based
their
scripts
on bestselling
novels, including Shogun, Lessons
in
Chemistry, Ripley and Red,
White
&
Royal
Blue.
Shogun—this
year’s
most
nominated
show
with
24
nominations, including
Outstanding
Drama
Series—took
its
cue
from James
Clavell‘s
1975
novel
of
the
same
name,
which traces
events
and
figures
in
Japanese
history.
Meanwhile,
two
book
adaptations
will
go
head-to-head for the
Outstanding
Limited
Or
Anthology
Series
Award when
the
Emmys
(hosted
by Eugene
Levy and Dan
Levy)
air
on
ABC
on
Sept.
15. Lessons
in
Chemistry—starring Emmy nominee Brie
Larson—is
based
on Bonnie
Gramus‘
2022
debut
novel
of
the
same
name,
following
the
fictional
love
story
of
TV
chef
and
chemist
Elizabeth
Zott.
It’s
nominated
alongside Ripley, the
latest
adaptation
of Patricia
Highsmith‘s
1955
psychological
thriller The
Talented
Mr.
Ripley,
which
also
inspired
the
1999
movie
starring Matt
Damon, Gwyneth
Paltrow and Jude
Law.
Historically,
book
adaptations
have
done
well
at
the
Emmy Awards,
with
shows
like Games
of
Thrones, Bridgerton and Big
Little
Lies picking
up
multiple
nominations
and
wins
over
the
years.
