"According to sources speaking to Variety, Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars has been green-lighted for a 10-episode TV adaptation on Spike TV.

Each episode will be an hour long, and J. Michael Straczynski, creator and writer of Babylon 5 and co-creator of Sense8 will serve as Red Mars' writer, co-executive producer, and showrunner. Vince Gerardis, co-executive producer of Game of Thrones, will also serve as executive producer on Red Mars with Straczynski. Robinson will reportedly be an on-the-set consultant."

Looks like might attempting to do a decent job on series.

If it's got JMS behind it I'm interested, even though I found the books quite repetitive and formulaic.

Having said that, I rather wish someone would give Straczynski money for more B5 Lost tales or similar*….

* though not Crusade and certainly not Legends of the Rangers….
