It sounds like Midnight, Texas isn’t going to be a direct adaptation of the books, given Owusu-Breen’s comments on the new pacing of the show, but that’s not necessarily the problem.
With a character-driven series like this one, the heart of the books is the people in Midnight, more than the events that take place.
Owusu-Breen is very clear on the fact that the characters have been changed very little, which will definitely be good news to fans of the books.
