{{main|Blake and Mortimer (TV series)}}

In 1997, [[Ellipse Programmé|Ellipse]] animation studios made an animated series containing 26 episodes, making up 13 stories, four of which were entirely new and not based on existing books.

===Film===
Several prior attempts were made to adapt ''The Yellow M'' to film. Spanish director [[Álex de la Iglesia]] stated that he was working on an adaptation of the comic to be released around 2010, however this never came into fruition. At one point, surrounding rumours claimed that [[Hugh Laurie]] and [[Kiefer Sutherland]] were to play Blake and Mortimer respectively;<ref>Álex de la Iglesia is interviewed in "Noches como ésta" {{cite web |url=http://pluton.rtve.es/alex-de-la-iglesia-entrevistado-en-en-noches-como-esta.html |title=Breve reflexión en un momento de tregua |publisher=El Blog De Álex De La Iglesia |date=10 October 2008 |access-date=2008-10-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081013045030/http://pluton.rtve.es/alex-de-la-iglesia-entrevistado-en-en-noches-como-esta.html |archive-date=13 October 2008 }}</ref> Since then, however, nothing has come of this project.

In April 2024, it was announced that [[Belga Films]] would produce a live-action English-language film based on ''The Yellow M'', with [[Cedric Nicolas-Troyan]] directing.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cult Comic Book ‘The Yellow M’ Set For Live Action Adaptation With Belga Films Group & Cédric Nicolas-Troyan|last=Goodfellow|first=Melanie|url=https://deadline.com/2024/04/belga-films-group-director-cedric-nicolas-troyan-adaptation-cult-comic-book-the-yellow-m-1235872589/|date=3 April 2024|access-date=3 May 2025|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]}}</ref> In May 2025, [[Corey Mylchreest]] and [[Phil Dunster]] were cast as Blake and Mortimer.

In 2011, French publishers [[Dargaud]] and [[Anuman Interactive]] launched the first video game adaptation of the ''Blake and Mortimer'' series, titled ''Blake and Mortimer: The Curse of the Thirty Denarii, a'' [[hidden objects game]] featuring both 3D and comic-strip environments.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pockett.net/n8962_iPhone_Dargaud_et_Anuman_Interactive_jouent_a_Blake_et_Mortimer_sur_iPhone_et_sur_iPad |title=Dargaud et Anuman Interactive jouent à Blake et Mortimer sur iPhone et sur iPad  |date=January 2011 |publisher=Videogames Pockett |access-date=2014-06-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140712072340/http://www.pockett.net/n8962_iPhone_Dargaud_et_Anuman_Interactive_jouent_a_Blake_et_Mortimer_sur_iPhone_et_sur_iPad |archive-date=12 July 2014 }}</ref>

===Murals===

In 2005, as part of the [[Brussels' Comic Book Route]], a wall was designed in the Rue du Houblon/Hopstraat in [[Brussels]], a reproduction of the one featured on the cover of ''The Yellow 'M'''. It was designed by G. Oreopoulos and D. Vandegeerde.

===Parodies===
The main characters of ''Blake and Mortimer'' have made cameo appearances in various comic series, particularly those series that are set in the same period of history, the twilight of the [[British Empire]]. They are often a tribute to their creator, [[Edgar P. Jacobs]].

For example, they make a one-off appearance in the [[Valérian and Laureline|Valérian]] adventure ''[[On the False Earths]]'' when the hero visits a [[Victorian era|Victorian]] London club.

Another example is the popular Belgian comic series concerning the adventures of [[MI5]] agent [[Clifton (comics)|Colonel Clifton]]. Clifton once featured in a story entitled ''Jade'', published in 2003. In it he meets two characters called Blake and Mortimer, though even as caricatures they bear little resemblance (perhaps deliberately) to Jacob's originals. The story includes elements from the original books, such as the entrance to the secret passage from ''S.O.S. Météores'' and the cave that doubles as a [[submarine]] base in ''L'Affaire Francis Blake''.<ref>''Jade'' {{ISBN|2-8036-1669-6}}, by [[Bob de Groot]] (writer) and [[Michel Rodrigue]] (artist), published in 2003</ref>

In 2005, [[Dargaud]] published a parody entitled ''Menaces sur l'Empire'' ("The Empire Under Threat"). This was a humorous presentation of the adventures of Blake and Mortimer and was not part of the [[Canon (fiction)|canon]] (in fact, the space reserved for the series' title reads "Les Aventures de Philip et Francis" as opposed to "Les Aventures de Blake et Mortimer"). The jokes contained include:
*Mortimer's attempts to break his diet, which his Indian manservant always thwarts, even from a long distance
*Confusion over whether they are working for [[MI5]] or [[MI6]]
*The heroes catching Prime Minister [[Winston Churchill]] in bed, engaged in an affair with a young woman
*A send-up of [[Bruce Lee]]'s ''[[Game of Death]]''<ref>''Menaces sur l'Empire'' {{ISBN|2-205-05457-0}}, by Pierre Veys (writer) and Nicolas Barral (artist)), published in 2005</ref>
Two additional volumes of "Les Aventures de Philip et Francis" have followed, ''Le Piège machiavélique'' (2011) and ''S.O.S. Météo'' (2014).<ref>[https://www.mediatoon-foreignrights.com/serie/aventures-de-philip-et-francis-les/]</ref>

''Tigresse Blanche'' (''White Tigress'') by [[Yann (comics)|Yann]] and [[Conrad (comics)|Conrad]] is another Belgian comic series featuring the adventures of a [[Chinese Communist]] woman spy in post-[[World War II]] China. It features a British agent, Sir Francis Flake, whose friend (based on Mortimer) gets drunk on the announcement of Indian independence.
