Apple’s eight-episode limited series adaptation of Stephen King’s Lisey’s Story with Julianne Moore, Clive Owen, and Joan Allen is coming soon from J.J. Abrams and Warner Bros. Television.
The current cast includes Julianne Moore as Lisey Landon, Clive Owen as Scott Landon, Joan Allen as Amanda, and Dane DeHaan as Jim Dooley.
Dane DeHaan tells Collider: “It’s been really great. [King is] on set a lot. He’s very into what we’re doing and the experience. It’s also fun to help to sometimes craft it with him. He’s writing extra things. Pablo Larraín, the director, has a very clear vision, and there’s a real collaboration going on that wouldn’t be possible, otherwise. He’s such a big deal that what he writes is so holy that, in order to really collaborate or change things sometimes, it feels better having him there and having his blessing and knowing that he’s happy with it. It’s been really fun. It seems like we’re making something really cool. I think the director is really cool, the DP (Darius Khondji) is cool, the material is cool, and the other actors are amazing. It’s also definitely something different from what I’ve done before, which is always something that I’m looking for.”

Written and executive produced by Stephen King, the story centers on a woman who lost her husband two years ago, after a twenty-five-year marriage of profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. He was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man.
Before they married, Lisey knew there was a place Scott went—a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it’s Lisey’s turn to face Scott’s demons, to go to that terrifying place known as Boo’ya Moon.
Pablo Larrain (Jackie) directs the show from a series of scripts by King himself based on his novel of the same name. King, Moore, and Abrams executive produce with Ben Stephenson.
