Andy Weir's latest novel, Project Hail Mary, has the potential to be adapted into a successful sci-fi TV show, much like his previous hit, The Martian. While The Martian focused on survival on Mars, Project Hail Mary explores a mission to save Earth from a cosmic threat.
Andy Weir 's third novel, Project Hail Mary , has the potential to receive an adaptation as good as The Martian , ideally as a sci-fi TV show. The Martian is Andy Weir 's first published novel and one of Ridley Scott's best movies. It revolves around Mark Watney's (Matt Damon) survival on Mars while he waits for a rescue crew. Project Hail Mary almost reverses The Martian 's narrative.
While The Martian depicts Mark Watney's time on Mars waiting for his crew, Project Hail Mary's protagonist, Ryland Grace, travels even further away on a mission he was meant to perish on to save Earth. Project Hail Mary follows Ryland Grace during two different timelines—flashbacks of Ryland's final memories on Earth and Ryland aboard the Hail Mary in the present day. The contrast between Project Hail Mary and The Martian makes the former the perfect follow-up. However, Project Hail Mary makes more sense as a TV show. Although Project Hail Mary should be a sci-fi adaptation for television, there is already a movie adaptation in the works starring Ryan Gosling. Project Hail Mary's release date is currently March 20, 2026. Project Hail Mary would be the perfect follow-up to The Martian because they share themes while contrasting each other. The Martian depicts Mark Watney's survival after an unexpected dust storm leaves him stranded on Mars. He must survive until his crew from the Hermes returns to rescue him. On the flip side, Project Hail Mary depicts Ryland Grace's survival in outer space, but instead of attempting to survive on a planet, Ryland lives on the Hail Mary as he travels to the star Tau Ceti. Mark and Ryland's missions go wrong but with vastly different results. Mark Watney becomes stranded on Mars, while Ryland Grace unexpectedly survives to save Earth and live on his own terms
