It feels as if a new take on Stephen King’s famed The Stand has been in development for years now, largely because, y’know, it has been in development for years. Well now comes an update on this upcoming adaptation.

Previously, The New Mutants’ Josh Boone has been putting together a movie take on this King classic, with the loose plan being to spin the film in to a four-picture franchise. Now though, Tracking Board has word that this latest adaptation of King’s 1978 effort will actually be developed for the small screen. The outlet is reporting that the current plan is for Boone to put together a ten-hour limited series for CBS All Access.

The Stand, of course, was previously given the TV treatment back in 1994. Then, Mick Garris helmed a miniseries that clocked in at just over the six-hour mark in total, with names such as Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe, Miguel Ferrer, and Ossie Davis starring.

For those not familiar with The Stand, the loose plot centres on a decimated post-apocalyptic world in which a deadly plague has wiped out a huge chunk of the population. Two rival groups form, with the vastly differing views of the leaders of these groups putting both sides on a collision course as good battles evil.
