- The Stand (2020) The Stand (2020) Official Trailer [HD] – #Eternity. King fans would’ve been delighted to hear of the recent miniseries based on the author’s epic 1978 novel.
- The Outsider (2020) The Outsider: Official Trailer | HBO. Following the success of the Bill Hodges trilogy (of which Mr. Mercedes was the first installment) King used some of the same characters in The Outsider, released in 2018.
- Gerald’s Game (2017) GERALD’S GAME Trailer (2017) Netflix. We’ve already discussed Mike Flanagan’s excellent work on Doctor Sleep and here we find proof that that movie wasn’t the first time he worked wonders with a King story that wasn’t exactly film-friendly.
