Stephen King's LISEY'S STORY First Photos and Series Premiere Date
Apple TV+ has released a collection of photos from its series adaptation of Stephen King’s Lisey’s Story. They’ve also announced that the series will premiere on June 4th.
The story follows a character named Lisey Landon, and it’s set two years after her husband's death. Lisey “decides it's time to go through his office to clear out his papers. Scott Landon was a bestselling novelist and Lisey has been besieged by people wanting to buy any of his unpublished work but she is determined not to let that happen. As she begins the process of cleaning, she is contacted by an unsavory character who claims that if she does not turn over the papers, he will make her suffer the consequences. Finding strength she did not know she had and never used during their marriage, Lisey refuses, and true to his word, 'Zack McCool' begins to stalk her. Lisey begins to remember strange events from her marriage that she had suppressed and finds clues that may help save her life."
The concept of the story was inspired by King’s experience when he was involved in a serious accident in June 1999. The idea for the novel sprang from a sudden realization he had when he came home from the hospital and saw that all of his belongings were in boxes. Because of that, he saw a vision of what his studio would look like after his death.
The show has a great cast that includes Julianne Moore, Dane DeHaan, Joan Allen, Clive Owen, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
The book that the series is based on is great, and I hope that this series actually manages to adapt the story properly. King himself has actually written the scripts for all eight episodes of the series, and it will include new story additions that weren’t in the book.
