EPIX Adapting Stephen King’s Jerusalem’s Lot

EPIX has greenlit a drama based on the short story Jerusalem’s Lot by Stephen King for a ten-episode season, which will star Academy Award winner Adrien Brody.

Set in the 1850s, the series follows Captain Charles Boone (Brody), who relocates his family of three children to his ancestral home in a small, seemingly sleepy town in 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.

The series will commence production in May 2020 in Halifax, Nova Scotia for a potential fall 2020 premiere.

The drama is executive produced by Donald De Line (Ready Player One, Wayward Pines). Jason Filardi and Peter Filardi serve as executive producers and showrunners. This is the first series from EPIX Productions.
