Bitten Television Show

Concerns about adaptations from books to television are common, and the “Bitten” television show, based on the popular book series, is no exception. Author Kelley Armstrong addresses several recurring concerns about the show’s production. One frequent worry is that the television adaptation will negatively impact the original book series. Armstrong assures readers that the show is a separate entity and will not alter the existing books or influence future storylines. The show caters to the significant demand for a visual adaptation of the series, offering a new way to experience the story without affecting the original work.

Another concern revolves around the initial release of the “Bitten Television Show” on a Canadian channel, limiting accessibility for international fans. While the production’s Canadian roots are a source of pride for the author, she assures readers that distribution options beyond the initial Canadian channel will likely become available.

Armstrong also addresses concerns regarding her limited involvement in the show’s production. She emphasizes her trust in the expertise of the television production team, allowing them to reimagine her story for a different medium. Her focus remains on writing, leaving the visual adaptation to those skilled in television production. The author acknowledges that changes are inevitable in adapting a book to television. The show’s writers, she explains, have their own creative vision, which will lead to additions and alterations to the original narrative. However, these changes are intended to enhance the story’s translation to the screen and will not retroactively affect the books themselves.

Casting choices often spark debate among fans, with many expressing concerns about actors not matching their mental image of the characters. Armstrong argues that visual resemblance is less crucial than an actor’s ability to embody the character’s essence. She prioritizes acting talent and the ability to capture the spirit of the character over superficial similarities in appearance. She recalls a previous instance where Angelina Jolie was considered for the role of Elena. While Jolie might not have physically matched every reader’s image of the character, her understanding of the role and enthusiasm for the project were paramount. This same principle applies to the current cast of the “Bitten” television show.

Ultimately, Armstrong urges viewers to reserve judgment until they have seen the show. Similar to approaching a new book, she suggests giving the show a chance before forming an opinion. She highlights the dedicated and talented team behind the production, emphasizing their commitment to creating a quality show. Trusting the creative process and allowing the show to unfold is key to appreciating the adaptation.
