It’ll also depend on whether Netflix thinks a prequel series or another adaptation could pull in the figures that the main series has. There are some books that Paramount and Netflix may choose to adapt, however. To our knowledge, Paramount owns all movie and TV series rights to the show. In addition, Netflix is not the key decision maker in the process as it’s actually Paramount that is producing the series. Firstly, the story as told wraps up quite nicely with the finale episode which is actually called “The End”. Note: all books were split into two episodes with the exception of “The End”Ĭouldn’t Netflix just write more episodes of A Series of Unfortunate Events?

Here’s how Netflix has split up the 13 books across its three seasons.

Handler is also the author of a children’s book, “The Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming,” about an angry latke telling the Hanukkah story while running into various Christmas symbols who are uneducated about Jewish history. “The careful reader will find quite a few rabbis.” The Baudelaires are Jewish! I guess we would not know for sure but we would strongly suspect it, not only from their manner but from the occasional mention of a rabbi or bar mitzvah or synagogue,” he said.

And, the main characters of his beloved gothically dark and humorous “Series of Unfortunate Events,” which was adapted into a 2004 film and a 2017 Netflix series, are Jewish.

Handler grew up in a household that “hovered between Reform and Conservative Judaism,” he told Moment Magazine in 2007. Once the golem becomes destructive, the only way to kill it is to remove the letter “aleph,” which leaves the remaining word for “death,” or in Hebrew, “met”.
