The 10-episode series will tell about the world after the apocalypse caused by a deadly virus and the fight between good and evil taking place in it. Alexander Skarsgård (“Pure Blood”) will play Randall Flagg, a demon character who appears in the dreams of the survivors. Whoopi Goldberg will play Mother Abagail, a woman who has visions from God. James Marsden (“Westworld”) is set to play Stu Redman, a military man who is immune to the virus and whose blood the government is trying to make a vaccine from.

In The Stand, King spins a post-apocalyptic vision of the world. As a result of the flu epidemic known as Captain Trips, more than 90% of humanity is killed. It is an annihilation that people brought on themselves, because the ultra-modern virus did not arise naturally, but was created as a biological weapon.

Survivors begin to dream dreams that everyone should take either the right or the wrong side. Thus, two warring settlements are established in America. The one in Colorado is modeled on democracy, while in Las Vegas a dictatorship comes to power.

King, in his book, ponders on what direction humanity can go when the world we all know suddenly ends. In The Stand, we see the world after the catastrophe through the eyes of ordinary people.

King published this book in 1978, so more than 40 years have passed since its premiere. Despite this, many readers still reach for the book, and with the pandemic there were voices that the author had predicted the future in his book to some extent.

The Stand from CBS is not the first series to be based on this novel. 1994 saw the production of an Emmy-winning four-episode miniseries starring Gary Sinis.

We don’t know exactly when the nine-episode series will premiere, but it will definitely be available later this year. The Stand will include Whoopi Goldberg, Alexander Skarsgård and Amber Heard.

“The Stand” is a post-apocalyptic story about the world of the future, in which 98% of society died as a result of the spread of a dangerous virus, created in Stephen King’s head in the late 1970s. What do we already know about the new adaptation of the Master of Terror novel? Where and when will we see the first episodes of “The Stand”? Who is in the cast? We checked.

“The Stand” (org. “The Stand”) is a new version of the famous novel by Stephen King from 1978. The book tells about the world of the future in which humanity has been decimated by the spread of a dangerous virus that wiped out 98% of the population. Now the survivors must learn to survive in a terrifying new world.

“The Stand” has already become the base for a TV miniseries. It was in 1994, and the cast of the series then included Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, and James Sheridan. The four-episode series was quite popular.

Now we will see a new version of the famous novel. “The Stand” series is to consist of 9 episodes, broadcast once a week on the CBS All Access streaming platform. Interestingly – the new version is to have a different epilogue, written by Stephen King himself, especially for this version of the story.

Almost the entire population is wiped out by a virus. Few people are immune and although they sometimes live far away from each other and do not know each other, they are haunted by similar dreams. Some of them dream of an old woman named Mother Abagail (Whoopi Goldberg), others of a charismatic man named Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgård). The survivors set off to meet the person they dreamed of. Stu Redman (James Marsden) and Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young) are on their way to see Mother Abagail and have arrived at their destination, trying to build a new civilization with the other newcomers. Randall Flagg and his followers, however, aim to destroy the still existing free world. Only one of the two groups can survive and one last great fight is looming: good against evil, freedom against dictatorship, peace against violence.

Mini-series based on the eponymous model by Stephen King. “The Stand” was initially supposed to be filmed for the cinema by Josh Boone, now Boone has directed the series instead.

The event series was lucky, the shooting was already completed before the shutdowns, apparently the post-production has now worked out well. Let’s wait and see if Amazon strikes for Germany, book adaptation and CBS All Access, that could well be something. If Netflix doesn’t offer more …

++ News from 07/28/2020: Stephen King series are still being announced diligently, while work on these – as far as the shooting is concerned – has to wait until it can continue after the corona pandemic. The Stand is still in progress at CBS All Access. We have heard a lot about the 10-part mini-series in the past, and the work is likely to have progressed relatively well. Now there is another update – from director Josh Boone.

Boone said in an interview with Slashfilm that Stephen King is very important to him. His mother would burn his books, but as a child he would have written him a letter and had some books signed. He would later have given him a cameo in his first film, Stuck in Love. He also loves “Revival”, but in the end he ended up at The Stand while he was sure that Mike Flanagan would do a great job with “Revival”.

Boone, who confirmed that he directed the first and last episodes of The Stand while King wrote the script for the finale, also talked about arguably the best or worst timing ever. After all, filming was interrupted due to a pandemic and The Stand is about the consequences of a pandemic that killed a large part of the population.

He also praises the cast and crew of the series. There couldn’t have been better people to put the story into practice.

And what can viewers expect? Viewers should definitely expect an R rating. In addition, a pinch of uncanny encounters of the third kind and generally the atmosphere from Steven Spielberg films from the 70s mixed with crazy Oliver Stone films from the 90s.
