Well, in 2021, we are going to have our assumption tested as Stephen King and J.J. Abrams are working on an adaptation of King’s 2006 novel, Lisey’s Story, that is set to air on Apple TV+ sometime in the course of the year. In this article, we are going to tell you everything we know about the show so far so you can prepare yourselves for watching.

Lisey’s Story is a recent Stephen King novel and has not yet achieved the status of some of his more important works like It, The Shining, or Salem’s Lot. It is a gothic horror-drama about a woman named Lisey Landon, who is actually a widow of a successful novelist, Scott Landon.

Stephen King got the inspiration for the story back in 1999 when he was hit by a truck in Maine, which left him seriously injured. While he was in the hospital, his wife Tabitha decided to redesign his studio and when he came back home, he saw all of his books and belongings in boxes; he then realized that that was how his studio would look like after his death, and this was the basis for Lisey’s Story. The novel itself started off as a short story titled “Lisey and the Madman”, which was actually an excerpt from the novel; Stephen King has called Lisey’s Story the favorite novel he has written.
