For avid readers like yourself, we have compiled a list of literary-inspired film and TV shows set to debut in September. Let's dive in.\n\nOn September 9, Apple TV will feature 'Last Seen,' an Australian thriller based on Ryan David Jahn's novel 'The Dispatcher.' In the drama, a police dispatcher receives a phone call from a young woman who sounds like his daughter, who has been missing for 11 years.\n\nSlow Horses (Season 6) will stream on Apple TV on September 16. The series is adapted from Mick Herron's 'Joe Country' and 'Slough House,' and it's time to tune in, as the show is a must-watch.\n\nPrime Video has 'The Love Hypothesis' coming on September 23, based on Ali Hazelwood's bestselling romance novel, which originally started as a Star Wars fan fiction. Tom Bateman and Lili Reinhart star in this romantic adaptation.\n\nNetflix will debut 'Wonka's The Golden Ticket' on September 23, based on Roald Dahl's beloved novel, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.' However, Netflix has taken a bold move by turning the story into a reality show hosted by the AI-generated voice of Gene Wilder. We can't recommend it highly enough.\n\nThrowback viewers can enjoy 'Psycho' on Peacock on September 1. Based on Robert Bloch's 1959 novel, this classic film may not be the best choice, but it's nonetheless a cult classic.\n\nOther September releases include 'Jaws' on Netflix, 'Carrie' on Prime Video, 'The Silence of the Lambs' on Prime Video, and '10 Things I Hate About You' on Peacock. All of these movies are adaptations of literary works, from Robert Bloch's 'Psycho' to William Shakespeare's 'The Taming of the Shrew.' Lastly, don't miss 'Cruel Intentions' on Netflix, based on the classic French novel 'Les Liaisons dangereuses' by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.",
