Spiderwick Chronicles TV Show Plot
The upcoming “The Spiderwick Chronicles” TV show is set to closely follow the plot of the book series penned by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. Centered around Jared and Simon, accompanied by their sister Mallory, the story unfolds as they relocate from New York to Michigan, settling into their family’s ancestral home, The Spiderwick Estate. However, their seemingly ordinary move unveils a hidden reality, granting them access to a perilous world inhabited by fairies and other mystical creatures from folklore.
With eight novels comprising the series, it remains uncertain whether each season of the TV adaptation will correspond to one book or if the initial season will focus solely on the events of 2003’s “The Field Guide.” Similar to the 2008 film adaptation which covered the narrative of the first book, the initial episodes of “The Spiderwick Chronicles” TV series on Roku may follow suit, bringing viewers into the enchanting realms of the first installment.

A few months ahead of the show’s anticipated release, the first trailer for The Spiderwick Chronicles has been released by The Roku Channel, and it’s already promising a whimsical ride. The teaser introduces the Grace family and their exciting discovery of the legendary Field Guide, but it soon takes a darker turn as it also introduces Mulgarath and his devious plans. While the short trailer doesn’t give away everything, it already proves that The Spiderwick Chronicles has the potential to continue past its initial 8-episode run.
