Stephen King's The Stand is heading back to the small screen — this time in the form of a 10-episode series coming to CBS All Access.
King's 1978 novel is one of his most popular titles and centers on a group of survivors who have managed to make it through a catastrophic plague, the Captain Trips virus, that cost the other 99 percent of the world their lives.
But those survivors must still contend with Randall Flagg, aka the Dark Man. CBS All Access announced a straight-to-series order for The Stand in January 2019, which marks the first time the story has been adapted since ABC's four-episode miniseries in 1994.
