I very much doubt they'll have the budget to do it justice.

They ploughed a ton into the Grand Tour - that would have been a somewhat known quantity so maybe a less risky investment for them but I wouldn't be surprised if they do Phlebas justice.

If they only aim to match the production quality of Netflix's Altered Carbon then that's enough really.

I hope so buddy, Consider Phlebas is one of my favourite Culture books, so I really want it to be good.
