Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" novels still enjoy the same cult status as they did decades ago, when they were published. Stragely enough though, not many companies tried adapting them into films or shows - apart from the (let's say, inexpensively produced) BBC shows and the 2005 film, which sadly remained without a sequel and only covered the events of the first book.

During the past few years, Netflix has produced a plethora of quality shows such as "The Crown", "Stranger Things" or "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency", the latter also suggested by Adams' works. And while the show was quite complex and perhaps not everyone's cup of tea, the "Hitchhiker" material is far more accessible and with the right script authors, it could easily become one of Netflix' most beloved productions.
