The town of Jerusalem’s Lot was prominently featured in the second season of Hulu’s “Castle Rock,” which just wrapped up earlier this month, and we’ve learned today (via Deadline) that Epix is now adapting Stephen King‘s prequel story “Jerusalem’s Lot,” published in 1978 and featuring the fictional town King introduced a few years prior in the novel Salem’s Lot.

Deadline reports that Epix has given a 10 episode straight-to-series order to “Jerusalem’s Lot,” with Oscar-winner Adrien Brody set to star.

“The series is set in the 1850s. It follows Captain Charles Boone (Brody), who relocates his family of three children to his ancestral home in the small, seemingly sleepy town of Preacher’s Corners, Maine after his wife dies at sea. However, Charles will soon have to confront the secrets of his family’s sordid history, and fight to end the darkness that has plagued the Boones for generations.”

“This series is an intense, absolutely terrifying reimagining of classic gothic horror,” Epix’s Michael Wright said. “We can’t wait to work with the exceptional team of Donald De Line and Jason and Peter Filardi, along with our phenomenal lead actor, Adrien Brody…and of course, when it comes to horror, it doesn’t get any better or more masterful than Stephen King.”

Peter and Jason Filardi are scripting, exec producing and serving as show-runners.

Epix is eyeing a Fall 2020 premiere for the series.

Last we heard, a film adaptation of Salem’s Lot is also in the works.
