While I agree about Foundation, I really don’t know how anyone would properly adapt the book(s) and make something enjoyable to watch. The book is an important piece of sci-fi and inspired a lot of writers, but it really has aged like milk: it doesn’t even have a named female character until 3/4 of the way through the book, and even then it can’t pass the Bechtel test.
Better than Netflix. Or what Apple did to Foundation.
Amazon has a pretty good track record: Good Omens, Expanse, Tales from the Loop, The Boys, Fallout.

Fans said Dune couldn’t be done. Time skip is easy given the popularity of anthologies.
Gender swapping a character to modernize it is done all the time too.
