Stephen King’s fantasy book, Fairy Tale, is being adapted as a TV show byA24.
PerDeadline, the book was initially going to be a feature film from Universal, but, since the novel runs over 600 pages, it was simply too much for one movie, so the studio let it go. A24 now has plans to turn it into a 10-episode series, thanks to executive producer Peter Rice reassembling the project with the new studio.
If you’re in the mood for more King adaptations, though, there are plenty to choose from. Just recently we’ve had Salem’s Lot, an adaptation of King’s vampire novel, and Mike Flanagan is working on a film based on King’s novella The Life of Chuck. “Four days in, I knew that there was something magical happening,“Flanagan has said of the movie, which stars Tom Hiddleston, Mark Hamill, Karen Gillan, Chiwetel Ejifor, and more.
