Each Monday, Booked & Screened looks at film and television releases in the week ahead. We track what’s coming, what it’s based on and who’s bringing it to the screen. Below are the adaptations being released this week.

‘My Brilliant Career’
Streaming Aug. 13 on Netflix

Netflix’s adaptation of Miles Franklin’s novel “My Brilliant Career” will premiere on the streaming service on Aug. 13. The six-part Australian drama stars Philippa Northeast (“The Family Next Door”), Christopher Chung (“Slow Horses”) and Genevieve O’Reilly (“The Snowman”) and tells the story of a young girl growing up in the early 1900s, wanting to become a writer. Liz Doran (“Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries”) wrote and developed the series. A 1979 film adaptation of the novel starred Judy Davis (“A Passage to India”) and Sam Neill (“Jurassic World: Dominion”). 

“Sybylla doesn’t want a husband, she wants a story worth telling, and she’ll break every rule to write it,” a synopsis reads. “Meet the young woman writing her way out of the expectations of 1900.”

‘All Wishes Come True’

Pearl Studio is bringing its Chinese animated film “All Wishes Come True” to other countries. The comedic story, which is inspired by “The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea,” follows eight mortals pretending to be immortals to get into a vault.

DC Studios “Lanterns” follows Hal Jordan (Kyle Chandler) as he tries to teach John Stewart (Aaron Pierre)—both iterations of the Green Lantern superhero—how to use the ring that gives them powers.
