   Do a Google search for "movie series that got cancelled" and you'll get   
   a lot of different lists.  :-)   
      
   "The Golden Compass" did recently get re-made as a TV series called   
   "His Dark Materials". There were three seasons, but I don't know if   
   that was the full story or not from the three books. There are also   
   rumours of a spin-off series.   
      
   Netflix are in the early stages of a planned new Narnia series.
