I've been seeing quite a few announcements lately stating state the netflix television series will end after season 3, the most recent one being this: tvline.com/2018/03/18/series-of-unfortunate-events-end-date-season-4-neil-patrick-harris/ We already that season 2 is covering books 5 through 9 and that season 3 is covering books 10 through 13. Why would anyone assume that netflix would create any ASOUE seasons beyond that? Why is this supposed to be a news flash?

i think most people believe this is a remake based on the 2004 movie, many people don't know they're actually books
that and people not researching before writing articles, there are many articles saying that the third season hasn't been ordered... funny thing, they're almost done filming

The idea of an adaptation being quite this structurally faithful to the books appears to be somewhat unusual, but it's very much a strength of the series.

there are millions of people who know nothing about this series and those who do, via watching the show, have not bothered at all to recognize that the show is based on novels. SO the information will be news to them. I know there are all sort of adaptions that have come from source materials that I had no interest in and therefore knew nothing about what would come from further adaptions.

What ruffles my feathers is when an article states that the show has been "cancelled" rather than simply reaching its destined end point. "Cancelled" implies that the show wasn't successful or good enough for Netflix - and that's not the case, people!

i think most people believe this is a remake based on the 2004 movie, Unfortunately, those people are sort of correct. I was surprised as to how many film-original ideas this first season kept; Klaus finding a spyglass in the ruins of their mansion, Stephano attempting to blame Monty's death on Ink instead of the Mamba Du Mal, the Baudelaires finding pictures of Josephine doing insanely courageous things; Then there were smaller things like Count Olaf's house being across from Justice Strauss's house instead of next to it, Stephano stabbing the front door of Monty's house with his knife as the Baudelaires were trying to shut him out, the Baudelaires asking Josephine about their parents' secrets on their way back from curdled cave; I kept thinking to myself, "There's already an on-screen version of these things, why do we need another one?" Season three is being shot now, and I'm sincerely hoping that they're not planning for the Baudelaires to learn at the end of that third season that Count Olaf used a giant eye-shaped magnifying glass to burn down their mansion.

Oh, that seems unlikely to me. They've more or less already shown that the various mansions are being burned down using a small spyglass rather than a giant magnifying glass, so it's completely different.
(...Realistically, I imagine the similarities early on are holdovers from the early Sonnenfeld/Handler visions for the movie canon, but I would be surprised if the adaptation of The End actually chose to confirm Olaf's culpability.)

Spyglasses do find their way into the books; there's a mention of one in TSS.
