Stephen King's Later

Stephen King‘s Later, released just last year, has been described as a pulpy crime-thriller, and we’ve learned today that it’s already being adapted for television.

Deadline reports that Blumhouse Television is behind the small screen project, which will be a limited series created by Raelle Tucker and starring Lucy Liu.

The book is part of Titan Books’s “Hard Case Crime” series that also includes previous Stephen King novels The Colorado Kid and Joyland. Here’s the full plot rundown:

“#1 bestselling author Stephen King returns with a brand-new novel about the secrets we keep buried and the cost of unearthing them.”

“The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine – as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave.”

Later is Stephen King at his finest, a terrifying and touching story of innocence lost and the trials that test our sense of right and wrong. With echoes of King’s classic novel ItLater is a powerful, haunting, unforgettable exploration of what it takes to stand up to evil in all the faces it wears.”
