In [[2021]], [[Roseview]] approached Geronato regarding acquiring the rights to create a television adaptation of the ''Final Great War'' series as a direct-to-streaming show. It had not been the first time Geronato was approached, but as the written version of the series approached completion, he felt more comfortable finally agreeing to the participate in a television adaptation, and signed an agreement in December 2021. Throughout [[2022]], Roseview assembled a team including prominent [[Caphiria]]n showrunner [[Canilo Vostrata]] to create the show, with Geronato signing on as a mostly nominal {{wp|executive producer}}. Filming on the first season began in late [[2022]] but faced issues due to [[Final War of the Deluge|wartime considerations]]. The first episode debuted at 9 PM on Thursday, September 11, [[2025]] on Roseview Red, the network's streaming service. Throughout its run, season debuts and finales were also simulcast on Roseview's terrestrial television network, preempting other programs. The show was very popular, but reached a major crescendo in popularity by the time of its third season in [[2027]]. Beginning with the third episode of the fifteen episode second season, it was the number one program (streaming or television) until the series finale in December 2030, gaining over a hundred million viewers per episode in season three. The success of the television series led to Geronato writing a number of new spinoff material to be made into a movie series, and rapidly accelerated the sale of the book form of the series. | In [[2021]], [[Roseview]] approached Geronato regarding acquiring the rights to create a television adaptation of the ''Final Great War'' series as a direct-to-streaming show.

The television series directly adapted the book form, with some alterations of storylines in order to work better in the visual medium. Many of the one-off vignettes of the novels were removed or altered into side plots for existing main characters, and many were combined to create new supporting characters to increase the runtime of the show. The first season of the show was directly based off of ''The Time of War'', the [[2021]] abridged combination of the original ''Final Great War'' novel and its 2020 prequel, ''Beast of Seven Heads''. Season two of the show was primarily based off of 2011's ''All That Remains'' and some tertiary material from ''Beast''; additional material from the "Stories of the End" novel ''Surviving the Last War'' by Vivian Geigh was also included to provide enough content to make a season. Seasons three, four, and five were all directly based off of ''Into Ploughshares'', ''Presented On High'', and ''Next Great War'', respectively. Geronato and Vostrata had a strong working relationship throughout the series, with Vostrata working carefully to respect Geronato's vision and storytelling style while presenting his own spin on the story. Geronato views the television series highly, and has compared its canonicity to "a familiar story told by an energetic old spinner of yarns". | The television series directly adapted the book form, with some alterations of storylines in order to work better in the visual medium.
