Although it has not yet been established whether the first season will only attempt to adapt the first novel or the first two, it is possible that Netflix will want to continue the series in the traditional fashion of "one season – one book." On Curtis Jobling’s website, he states he’s “adapting all six novels as lead writer and associate producer.”
