Last I heard CBS was considering it for their all access feature.

I hope not. They will undoubtedly destroy it with Liberal SJW garbage.

It’s official. It is being produced as a 10-hour series for CBS All Access.

I have heard and expressed similar concerns myself, especially with Stephen King saying that he intends to write a'final chapter' or however he phrased it, to tell the stories of what happened after.

But, let's wait and see.

I'm willing to bet Randall Flagg's look and dialogue will have plenty of Donald Trump references and Mother Abigail will be a sophisticated modern Oprah Winfrey type woman.

They are going to sacrifice the chance to make a classic in order to make a quickly-dated political cartoon.

Maybe not. I recall from the book that Mother Abagail was very conservative. She was the oldest registered Republican in her area and thought that FDR and his crew were communists.

Still, that was the book. The film may be entirely different.

Is this the third or fourth remake?

I believe the 94 miniseries was the only film adaption of this story.

This is correct.
