I’m currently reading the books for the first time, just finished callibans war. I was wondering, should I watch the serie along with reading the books? Does each season represent a book?

There are major differences between the books and show. It for the most part follows the books, but I was never a huge fan of condensing characters. They also do remove quite a large number of book scenes with character development. The worst thing they did though was not completing the series. The true ending is great and would have made for pretty epic television.
To be fair the time skip before book 7 means we can wait a good long while and still have the rest of the content make sense if it’s ever produced.
I don’t think we’ll ever see a TV serial for the remaining books but I wouldn’t be surprised if they made a couple of movies to cover the rest of the story. Hell, if they could swing a long-form miniseries with 3 2hr episodes per book I’d be happy as a clam.
I haven’t read the latest novels, but isn’t Holden supposed to be around 80 in Persepolis? I don’t think either CGI aging or replacing the cast would’ve been a good move.
In the later books they drop a line about anti aging meds a couple times as a way to explain the timeline. I wanted to be mad about that but realized i accepted anti cancer meds without blinking.
He’s already supposed to have aged quite a bit between season 1 and 6. They could probably keep doing what they’ve been doing and compress the timeline somewhat
Relativity and low gravity are the new skincare regime.
The books say that they age much slower due to modern medicine.
