Barrayar. Giant SciFi world, tons of cool characters, politics, action, romance and intrigue. All in all it probably would make for a pretty great series.

Red Rising would be a phenomenal TV show.
Mistborn and Stormlight Archive from Sanderson would also be incredible.
Old mans war. Come on they take OAP and turn them into super fighting soldiers to fight a whole galaxy of different races. We literally could have Morgan Freeman and Arnold err the terminator smashing aliens.
Demon Cycle series by Peter V. Brett. They had a film adaptation in the works a few years ago, but it fell through.
This is what I said but I'd want them to rework it some. Largely for far less rape.
A real adaptation of the Foundation Series. Not the abomination we are getting from Apple.

The Quantum Thief trilogy. Mainly because part of it takes place in Oubliette, a city whose buildings, plazas and monuments are carried across the surface of Mars by giant robots. That ought to be quite a spectacle.
I have to reread that series. I loved it, but it's not easy to digest in one sitting.
I kinda think it'd do better as a high-concept anime, like the original Ghost in the Shell anime. I think some of the concepts/cultures would be easier to render in animated form than live action.
The entire Sprawl trilogy. But if only one was to be made, I'd love to see Count Zero on the big screen as that one had the most action and visually appealing scenes to adapt.
But I also agree with Dragonriders of Pern! I loved those books when I was in high school.

The Murderbot Diaries
the wandering inn. absolutely no way a movie would do it justice though
I'm not familiar with LitRPG (assuming google didn't lead me wrong on this title).
Do you think it'd work as an actual game at all?
its sort of litrpg - less "numbers go up" than most. no idea if a game could be created from it. I dont think we have reached the right tech base to emulate a System yet
Cosmere - Mistborn, Stomlight Archives, etc...
A Canticle for Lebowitz would be AMAZING!!
The Cosmere, or at least the Mistborn part thereof. While reading I often pictured movie scenes.
Just started it but Deathworlders would be very cool.
I feel like the Destroyermen series would fit a tv show format pretty well.
The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks!
We had a Shannara series! Despite the creative license taken with some characters / the lore (Manu Bennett is an awesome actor but Allanon, the tall rangey ancient wizard? Really?), I was gutted that it got cancelled.

I just finished the Green Bone Saga by Fonda Lee, and that would work great as a gangster/martial arts show.

Technically a book series, warhammer 40k. It's being made too and I'm as excited as I'm afraid.
For the longest time, I wanted to see the Percy Jackson series adapted. (I'm not counting those movies!) Thankfully, it is and the first book/first season will be coming out in December. I hope they are able to expand to the entire universe that Riordan made. There are so many stories that would be great to see.
