The fate of mankind rests on the shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, &#8220;the Dark Man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ten-episode series will be produced by CBS Television Studios. Josh Boone and Ben Cavell will write and executive produce. Boone will also direct. Roy Lee, Jimmy Miller and Richard P. Rubinstein will also serve as executive producers with Will Weiske and Miri Yoon as co-executive producers and Owen King as producer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m excited and so very pleased that<em> The Stand<\/em> is going to have a new life on this exciting new platform,\u201d said King. \u201cThe people involved are men and women who know exactly what they\u2019re doing; the scripts are dynamite. The result bids to be something memorable and thrilling. I believe it will take viewers away to a world they hope will never happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI read <em>The Stand<\/em> under my bed when I was 12, and my Baptist parents burned it in our fireplace upon discovery,\u201d said Boone. \u201cIncensed, I stole my Dad\u2019s FedEx account number and mailed King a letter professing my love for his work. Several weeks later, I came home to find a box had arrived from Maine, and inside were several books, each inscribed with a beautiful note from God himself, who encouraged me in my writing and thanked me for being a fan. My parents, genuinely moved by King\u2019s kindness and generosity, lifted the ban on his books that very day. I wrote King a cameo as himself in my first film and have been working to bring <em>The Stand<\/em> to the screen for five years. I\u2019ve found incredible partners in CBS All Access and Ben Cavell. Together with Stephen King, Owen King, my longtime producing partners Knate Lee and Jill Killington, we plan to bring you the ultimate version of King\u2019s masterwork.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith over 400 million books sold around the world, Stephen King is one of our greatest living authors and<em> The Stand<\/em> is widely considered the crown jewel of his work,\u201d said Julie McNamara, executive VP of original content at CBS All Access. \u201cMillions of fans have been waiting for a modern interpretation that delivers on its depth, scope and ambition. We are thrilled to be working with Stephen, Josh, Ben and a dedicated team working passionately to bring this brilliant material to life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBS All Access has ordered as a limited series The Stand, based on Stephen King\u2019s best-selling novel of the same name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10687,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[382,206],"class_list":["post-10686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cbs-all-access","tag-stephen-king","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
