Brave New World adaptations: books & series
Every version of Brave New World — the books & series, compared across media.
Brave New World imagines a future where stability is maintained through cloning, feel-good drugs, and total social control across politics, programming, and media. Aldous Huxley's 1932 novel and the 2020 television series both inhabit this engineered utopia, following members of the collective who begin to question the rules they were made to live by. Together they trace one enduring story across two very different eras of storytelling.

Frequently asked
Is the Brave New World TV series based on a book?
Yes — the 2020 series Brave New World is based on Aldous Huxley's 1932 novel Brave New World, which imagines a future society governed by cloning, mood-altering drugs, and pervasive social control.
How many versions of Brave New World are there?
There are two versions featured here: Huxley's original 1932 novel Brave New World and the 2020 television series Brave New World, a sci-fi drama adaptation.
Should I read the book or watch the series first?
Both stand on their own — Brave New World (1932) is the source story, while the 2020 series Brave New World reimagines the same world on screen. Either makes a fine starting point depending on your preferred medium.
