2020 YA Book to Movie Adaptations
Are you ready for all of the 2020 YA book to movie adaptations that are releasing? While we all know that the book is usually better than the book, there is a lot to look forward to. Many of the YA book to movie adaptations are coming to streaming services in 2020 and it will make watching all of these upcoming films that much easier. Here is a list of the 2020 YA book to movie adaptations that you should add to your TBR.
P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han – Feb 12 – Netflix
If you have already seen the Netflix adaptation of Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, you will be very thrilled to watch the next instalment, P.S. I Still Love You. We can’t wait to get a little more Peter in our lives.
Emma – Feb 21
Emma is an upcoming adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic, Emma. This new movie stars Anya Taylor-Joy who is said to portray Emma perfectly. Not much longer to wait for this one to head to the theatre at the end of February.
All the Bright Places – Feb 28 – Netflix
Get your tissues ready for the adaptation of Jennifer Niven’s All the Bright Places. This movie has been in the works for a long time. Fans of Violet and Finch are finally getting to see the characters come to life on the screen.
Stargirl – March 13 – Disney +
Jerry Spinelli’s Stargirl is a story about a homeschooled girl who finds herself enrolled in high school. It is an emotional book that will make a perfect Disney+ film.
Our Chemical Hearts – Amazon
Another tear-jerker to watch for is Chemical Hearts. This movie adaption of Krystal Sutherland’s book is going to be interesting . This YA romance novel is often compared to John Green and Rainbow Rowell’s writing style. No release date yet, but it will be coming soon.
Love, Simon Series – Disney +
Our prayers have been answered for some more Creekwood and Becky Albertalli’s Simon. The Disney + adaptation stars Nick Robinson, who plays Simon in the original film, Love, Simon. The Creekwood series is a perfect choice for a Disney + spin-off series and we are looking forward to finding out its release date.
Shadow and Bone – Netflix
It seems as though Leigh Bardugo has been teasing us about the Shadow and Bone adaptation forever. When Netflix brings the Grishaverse to our screens this year, it will surely become very popular. No release date as of yet, but it has been promised for 2020.
There’s Someone Inside Your House – Netflix
Stephanie Perkins‘ There’s Someone in Your House is a YA thriller that has had Perkins’ fans on edge. While the book has been met with some criticism, it does sound like it will be an epic thriller for the screen. Hopefully, we will see it released this fall.
There are so many more YA book to movie adaptations releasing in 2020. Which of these adaptations are you most excited for?

A Love Simon series? That sounds great!
Right?! I am excited to see how it comes together as a series. 🙂
Ohh, I didn’t know about the Creekside series! Exciting!
Yes! I can’t wait for that one. 🙂
I’m most excited for Shadow and Bone of course! I absolutely love the cast and I’m sure it’s going to be very popular. And it isn’t on this list but I’m super excited for the Artemis Fowl movie coming in May. Excited and scared because I want it to be good. *fingers crossed*

Adding some of these to my watchlist!
So many to choose from this year! Enjoy! 🙂
To All the Boys 2 is tomorrow? Cool! I really liked the first one. PErfect for Valentine’s Day. 🙂 And Our chemical Hearts looks like it could be good. I didn’t know they were doing There’s Someone. Oh wow. I didn’t love the book but will definitely watch the show haha!
Yes!! I have a date with Peter this year! 😉
The only one I have read on this list is the Grisha series, and I am really not a fan so it seems like I have a lot of reading to do!
I hope that you find one that you love! 🙂
I haven’t read There’s Someone Inside Your House, but thrillers often make good movies!
That’s what I am hoping for that one. I haven’t read it yet, but it has a great premise. 🙂
So many I want to see! Shadow and Bnne is at the top.

Emma sounds like so much fun! I hope that you both enjoy it! 🙂
I read all the bright places and i’m excited to see the movie. I havent read to all the boys I loved but I did just watch the second movie last night, it was good
I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed it! Fingers crossed for All the Bright Places. 🙂
I love that Love, Simon will be a series but that it also still has Nick Robinson. He’s great.
