Come on, two series in development for War of the Worlds and nothing is done for the other giant three legged alien robot vehicles. My favorite ones, The Tripods.
I've always preferred the setting in the Tripods, much more story to be told than in the War of the Worlds, which is pretty straight forward "they come, they try to conquer and then humans defeat them" - story.

^ I'm trying not to...especially the weird-ass second season. 
Yeah, I loved that first season !

The first season was somewhere between Stargate SG-1 and Z-Nation...
But thAt second season...other than the glowing green blood and being called Morthrai... yes, what a mess
It would have helped if, at the very least, WOTW season 2 had included some explanation as to why the world was such a mess.
It wasn't because of the alien invasion, you can be sure of that, because the world seemed OK in the first season.

It's good to be in the public domain.
Yeah, I just finished reading Stephen Baxter's sequel that's being published in January once the copyright in the UK lapses. (The copyright lapsed in the US a while ago.)
There's a period audio drama adaptation of the Wells novel out after the New Year, too.
I like Teen Wolf, so the fact that the US is coming from Jeff Davis has me interested, but I have to wonder what's going to make this unique among all of the other alien invasion shows.
At least the Harness version will stand out more thanks it using the original time period. Have any of the other adaptations ever set it back in the 1800s? Most of the versions I know of have moved it to the same time it was made.

Especially the episode where they travelled back to the 1950s and the entire episode was in B&W.
^ Didn't the second season do that too? Something about the lead alien bad guy finding a human in the 50's who looked like him, and then the alien killed the guy and took his place.
You might be thinking of the season 1 episode that had Quinn, portrayed by John Colicos. That one was great episode. "To Life Immortal...sucker!"
^ No, I'm sure it was season 2, because Denis Forest was in it (in the dual role I just described). In addition to Malzor, the lead alien, he also played a guy in the 50's whom Malzor killed and replaced.
edit: yeah, it was season 2, episode 11, "Time to Reap".

What about the week that the Martians zoomed around town in a big van collecting brains?
