J.J. Abrams and Bad Robot’s spinoff of Stephen King’s The Shining, Overlook is still in the works over at HBO Max. Dustin Thomason and Scott Brown (Castle Rock) will write and executive produce the 10-episode drama.
HBO head Casey Bloys tells EW: “We haven’t seen anything. I’m excited to see it. They seem encouraged and happy, but I don’t have any update other than they’re busily working away at Bad Robot.”

Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining obviously follows Jack Torrance who becomes the winter caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel in Colorado, hoping to cure his writer’s block. He settles in along with his wife, Wendy, and his son, Danny, who is plagued by psychic premonitions. As Jack’s writing goes nowhere and Danny’s visions become more disturbing, Jack discovers the hotel’s dark secrets and begins to unravel into a homicidal maniac hell-bent on terrorizing his family.
The last time we saw the Overlook Hotel on the screen was in Gerald’s Game and Haunting of Hill House director Mike Flanagan Doctor Sleep with Ewan McGregor.
