We’ve already written about Apple’s acquisition of Stephen King’s Lisey’s Story, which is set to premiere in less than a month. The most recent adaptation of a Stephen King book promises to be a high-quality show that is going to keep us in front of the screens as the eight episodes begin to air on Apple TV+. As we wait for the premiere, Apple TV has released the first teaser for Lisey’s Story and we have it here for your pleasure:
Lisey’s Story stars Julianne Moore as the titular heroine, Lisey Landon, who becomes the victim of a dangerous stalker obsessed with the literary work of her late husband, Scott Landon, played by Clive Owen. These two are joined by Joan Allen, Dane DeHaan, Sung Kang, Ron Cephas Jones, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
The novel’s official plot can be summarized as follows: “Lisey lost her husband Scott after a twenty-five-year marriage of profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey knew there was a place Scott visited—a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live and create. Now, two years after Scott’s death, it’s Lisey’s turn to face his demons, to go to that terrifying place known as Boo’ya Moon. What begins as a widow’s effort to sort through the vast papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited.”
As far as the adaptation is concerned, Lisey’s Story is going to have its premiere on June 4, 2021, when the first two episodes are going to be released on Apple TV+. The remaining six episodes will be released on a weekly basis until July 16, 2021. We have absolutely no doubt that Apple is going to have another major hit on its roster!
