Dragonlance is a good one.
Its not a series, just a standalone book but I would love to see a stop motion movie of the magnum opus. It's a book that was written by the makers of a stop motion short called the maker. I would love to see what they could do with a proper budget
I'd love the Wayfarer's series to be a collection of short TV shows. They could do like 6 hour long episodes per book. It would great
Jhereg series by Steven Brust
I would watch a well made series based on the Parker novels by Richard Stark.
This happened for me with wheel of Time. Be careful what you wish for.
There's been talk multiple times of turning the Matthew Corbett series by Robert R. McCammon into a series.
I could see every book being turned into a maybe 10 episode season.
The "titan" series by John Varley. A good trilogy. Also a good five year series could be had with "ringworld" by Niven - the ongoing adventures that could feature six months of gathering the players and explaining their mission(s).
IF they're done right, of course.
Consider starting Ringworld on the Ringworld. Louis recounting the story so far to some fascinated locals, as a framing device. Presumably in that village where he fucks a catgirl. A lot of the first book is kinda Lord Of The Rings for a different kind of ultranerd: they have to go from point A to point Z Z Plural Z Alpha, unfathomably far away, whilst dealing with obstacles that are occasionally hostile and universally just weird.
You still get the long scenes of Louis Wu's 200th birthday party walking its way around the globe, and Nessus being so racist that eight-foot-tall murdercats feel the need to apologize. You still get the landing, such as it is, with Teela casually weaving through a minefield of molten glass. That's just not tension, per se, because we already know they get to the Ringworld. It's in the title. The question is, how will they ever leave? I think you can even keep the phwoar factor present when describing the ship, so long as that comes before showing the arrival. Otherwise the long list of cool shit that doesn't matter is more of a joke.
That Titan trilogy is such a trip, I'd watch that for sure, just to see if they fully went for it.
The Gaunt's Ghosts Warhammer 40,000 stories.
If I were allowed some creative direction, I would specify that unless it was there in the source material there will be zero scenes of people just explaining shit instead of showing it
The Gentlemen Bastards series could work well: Not too much CGI needed, and fancy rennaisance italy aesthetics deserve a fantasy show about thieving orphans!
The Webnovel "Mother of Learning" It has four arcs. Each arc is long enough to be made into two seasons, each containing 8 episodes.
Ender's Game.
Hate the author, love the series. I've never been more angry with a movie, and a TV series with someone that's actually read the books BUT has also largely disassociated from OSC would go a long way towards repairing things.
I would love to see Feist's sagas on screen.
That said, I only chose those because I'm already lucky enough to be seeing Wheel of Time come to the small screen, and it's a joy.
I feel like a Dark Elf Trilogy could only bring disappointment
Tunnels hands down
Calculus....early transcendentals.
I think Neuromancer would work well as a heavily stylized animation.
