Two years ago, Stephen King was asked which of his stories he’d most like to see an adaptation of, and his response was Lisey’s Story, published in 2006. King is getting his wish, as we recently learned, with Apple giving an eight-episode, straight-to-series order to a small screen adaptation of Lisey’s Story. The best news? King himself is writing all eight episodes!
Julianne Moore is attached to star, and the actress revealed this week during a chat with Boston Globe that Pablo Larrain (Jackie) is on board to direct the episodes.
Shooting is expected to take place this Fall.
The series is described as a deeply personal thriller that follows Lisey (Moore) two years following the death of her husband.
“The series explores a series of events that causes her to begin facing amazing realities about her husband that she had repressed and forgotten.”
J.J. Abrams is on board to produce through Bad Robot Productions. Julianne Moore, Stephen King and Ben Stephenson will executive produce.
