Updating a piece of classic literature for modern-day audiences is a proven path to success. Baz Luhrmann's Los Angeles-set Romeo + Juliet grossed nearly $150 million worldwide in 1996; Bridget Jones's Diary, inspired by Pride and Prejudice, grossed nearly $300 million globally and launched a franchise; Easy A, the comedy film that made Emma Stone a star, was based on Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. The most influential modern-day adaptation of a legendary piece of literature, however, has to be a television series that premiered more than 15 years ago and is currently seeing a sudden spike in viewership on the PVOD market.
