9 Stephen King Adaptations Coming To TV In 2020 And Beyond

Castle Rock is both a adaptation of Stephen King's entire written works and not at all. Based on one of King's many fictional towns, it creates a playground for mysteries and miseries to flourish.

After delivering two excellent seasons in the last few years expanding on the lives of major characters such as Alan Pangborn, from the novels The Dark Half and Needful Things, and Annie Wilkes, featured in Misery and most notably played by Kathy Bates in the film adaptation by the same name, it is fully expected to return with a third season.

Although not heavy on horror, it has plenty of potential to dive deep into all of King history, bringing his monsters and maniacs to the small screen. If it leans fully into horror then there's no question the TV curse will be broken.
