The show follows John Green&#8217;s 2005 novel closely, and by the time the credits roll, its story feels resolved. However, for those enamored with the mild-mannered Miles Halter (aka Pudge) and his ragtag, prank-pulling group of friends, not all hope is lost.\u00a0<em>Big Little Lies<\/em>\u00a0Season 1 was based on Liane Moriarty&#8217;s 2014 novel, and yet still \u2014 after much contention \u2014 managed to find a way to expand the story into Season 2. The same can be said for Hulu&#8217;s adaptation of\u00a0<em>The Handmaid&#8217;s Tale,\u00a0<\/em>which covered the entirety of Margaret Atwood&#8217;s original book in Season 1 but recently finished its third season (Season 4 premieres in 2020).

According to\u00a0<em>Variety<\/em>,\u00a0Paramount purchased the film rights\u00a0to the book shortly after its release in 2005, meaning that it took over a decade to bring the project into fruition.\u00a0<em>Gossip Girl\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>O.C.\u00a0<\/em>creator Josh Schwartz was originally attached to write and direct, and though he\u00a0<em>did<\/em>\u00a0ultimately helm the TV version, there were several roadblocks along the way.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/looking-for-alaska-9b86765.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48867\" src=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/looking-for-alaska-9b86765.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/looking-for-alaska-9b86765.png 620w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/looking-for-alaska-9b86765-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">For some reason, the initial project was shelved, as were all future attempts at a film adaptation. &#8220;[<em>Alaska<\/em>] bounced around\u00a0various studios as a feature film before it became an eight-episode series. It was probably not ever really a studio movie,&#8221; Schwartz told the\u00a0<em>New York Post<\/em>. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t particularly high-concept [since] it dealt with weighty themes and had a mystery at its core that intentionally could never be solved. It was a tricky adaptation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After the movie lay idle for some time, actor\u00a0Sarah Polley was tapped\u00a0in June 2014 to write and direct. One year later, it was\u00a0announced that Rebecca Thomas\u00a0(<em>Stranger Things)\u00a0<\/em>would actually direct. Again, that didn&#8217;t work out.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">According to a 2016 MTV News article, Green wrote in a series of now-deleted tweets that\u00a0Paramount hadn&#8217;t been returning his calls. &#8220;They&#8217;ve tried to make a movie a bunch of times, but it&#8217;s always fallen apart for one reason or another,&#8221;\u00a0Green said on his webseries, Vlogbrothers. &#8220;And at this point, I&#8217;m not involved in the project in any way. I&#8217;m not gonna lie, it definitely bums me out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/3edcd83730a879a753e5dadc28fc8b13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48868\" src=\"http:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/3edcd83730a879a753e5dadc28fc8b13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/3edcd83730a879a753e5dadc28fc8b13.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/3edcd83730a879a753e5dadc28fc8b13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/3edcd83730a879a753e5dadc28fc8b13-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nasimword.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/3edcd83730a879a753e5dadc28fc8b13-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Fast forward to May 2018, when Deadline announced that\u00a0<em>Looking for Alaska<\/em>\u00a0was moving forward\u00a0as a collaboration between Paramount and Fake Empire (Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage&#8217;s production company) \u2014 just as a show instead of a movie. Fortunately, Green appears to have been quite involved. &#8220;I spoke to Kristine and Charlie\u00a0on the phone yesterday and it was really special to have a conversation with the people who will become Miles and Alaska,&#8221; he wrote on Instagram in October 2018. &#8220;I&#8217;m so grateful to them and to everyone involved with the\u00a0<em>Looking for Alaska<\/em>\u00a0series. It&#8217;s all starting to feel very real!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Schwartz confirmed Green&#8217;s involvement\u00a0in an interview with TV Guide, saying, &#8220;John has been an incredible partner in this&#8230;. Very generously he reads all the material, he watches all the cuts, he gives his thoughts. And he&#8217;s very generous \u2014 both with his time and also with allowing us to make this adaptation in the way that we feel is best for this medium.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If\u00a0<em>Looking for Alask<\/em>a comes back for Season 2, hopefully it won&#8217;t take\u00a0<em>as\u00a0<\/em>long as the first time around. And if not, it&#8217;s probably better that the series exists as a finite piece of work. After all, Pudge doesn&#8217;t seem like he&#8217;d be a very good soccer player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Considering the book it&#8217;s based on had such a definitive ending, it&#8217;s unlikely that\u00a0Looking for Alaska\u00a0will return for Season 2\u00a0\u2014 especially since it&#8217;s being billed as a limited series.
