What does it actually take to turn a novel into a streaming series?
Join Sasq'et author Maxim Langstaff, and host Joe Woolworth as they attempt something most writers only dream about: transforming an independently published novel into a streaming television series.
Each episode documents the real journey—the meetings, setbacks, wins, industry secrets, marketing experiments, networking opportunities, and unexpected lessons that move the project one step closer to the screen.
Along the way, Joe and Maxim sit down with producers, showrunners, authors, actors, agents, publicists, marketers, executives, and creators who have successfully navigated the entertainment industry. Every conversation is designed to answer one question:
What is the next step toward making Sasq'et a television series?
Whether you're a writer, filmmaker, entrepreneur, dreamer, or simply someone chasing a seemingly impossible goal, this show offers a front-row seat to the process.
No shortcuts. No guarantees. Just the real story of what happens when two creators decide to aim for Netflix, HBO Max, Paramount+, or wherever the journey leads.
One episode. One connection. One step closer.
