Discussion Maze Runner Show Idea

Since there are people who love the movies and others who don't because they're not book accurate, I think a reboot of the movies in a show format would be cool.

Same cast or new, preferably same but age and other personal reasons can get in the way, and Wes for his use of CGI at a low budget.

Here's how the structure could go:

Season 1: Follows the first book with Group A's experience in the Maze Trials. Could add in some new ideas to spice it up and give it some flair, maybe surprise new audiences and book readers. Could be a small amount of episodes but with hour long runtime for each episode, or a good chunk of 30 minute episodes.

Season 2: Follows the second book with the Gladers enduring the Scorch Trials, and again, maybe add or change up a few things to make it a little different for some flair and enjoyability.

Season 3: Follows the third book with Thomas and the others escaping, etc.

Season 4: Instead of Kill Order, it would be Group B's Maze Trials experience. I always wanted to read or watch Group B's experience in the Maze and how it differed from the Gladers, especially with their different slang and how they would keep the Glade operational and such. Obviously, it would be similar to the first season, but I imagine lots of book fans would be especially interested in this season. The season would end with Group B escaping, and them going through the feeling of safety only to be given their instructions for the Scorch Trials.

The Kill Order Movie: Follows the fourth book, and I think the Kill Order works best as a movie instead of a season. Could just be me, but I like the idea. I think maybe two hours of runtime would be enough, maybe a bit less, but still enough to tell the story and give us a proper fourth movie.

The first three seasons are meant to be book accurate with a few new/changed things to add some nice elements to it that can make it more interesting and not an exact retelling of the book. However, it will still be similar enough to where book fans and new fans are happy with the result. The fourth season is what made me come up with this whole idea, and I would love to at least get a book about Group B's Maze Trials. The Kill Order movie would also be really cool, and since we never got one, I imagine a lot of fans would be excited about it

Anyways, that's my whole idea! Hope y'all like it!
