10 Video Game TV Shows HBO Should Make After The Last Of Us

9. The Wolf Among Us

Red Dead Redemption
Quantic Dream

A neo-noir set in a neon-soaked world with fable/fantasy characters trying to live in normal society? How has nobody already picked this up? An impressive catalog of graphic novels and a cult classic 2013 game has led to a passionate fanbase for The Wolf Among Us would love to see these characters brought to life.

The game centers around Bigby Wolf (A.K.A The Big Bad), the sheriff of Fabletown and all of its citizens. He's tasked with maintaining order and secrecy as these Fable characters attempt to blend in with the humans or risk being sent to the torturous Farm that they came from. Whether he's navigating outdated bureaucratic systems, personal relationships, or the safety of every non-human, Bigby is never allowed a dull moment.

The Fables books are naturally cinematic (as the game proved) and offer more-than-sufficient depth to sustain several seasons. Seasons could comprise of murder mysteries that only get increasingly-complicated as each episode goes on, never allowing the audience to get ahead of the show itself.

Since the standard plotlines of this series never devolve into a Law and Order 'killer of the week' structure, the writers could develop a single mystery that expands each week, ensuring the audience is hooked until the end.

Think True Detective, but with the Three Little Pigs.
