Netflix’s gamble on streaming original programming paid off with their first effort, House of Cards. Good thing; another series follows quickly, Hemlock Grove, based on the debut werewolf novel by screenwriter Brian McGreevy which was released as a trade paperback original (jacket above, left; tie-in jacket on the right; from Macmillan/FSG) last year to strong prepub reviews. The 13-episode series will be available on April 19.

Netflix is currently at work on another series based on a book, Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women’s Prison by Piper Kerman (RH/Spiegel & Grau, 2010). It is being directed by Weeds creator Jenji Kohan.
