17 Classic Movies That Had TV Shows We Never Knew About (Ranker)

"If Hollywood notices audiences love a film, don't be surprised to see a franchise built around it. While sequels and movie spinoffs are the norm in showbiz and highly expected, there are times when surprising TV shows based on the films pop out of the woodwork. These spinoff series often end up being continuations or prequels to popular movies. At the rate in which content drops on a weekly basis, though, it's easy to miss an adaptation that may pique the interest, especially if someone is a fan of the respective film. So, let's dig through the archives and take a look at the classic movies that had their own TV shows." - ranker.com
