That already long list of announced King projects has now grown even longer, as THR reports that Apple will team with the horror author and his producing partner J.J. Abrams for Lisey's Story, a series adaptation of King's 2006 novel. Oscar winner Julianne Moore has signed on to play the lead character, a woman who begins facing repressed memories about her husband two years after his death. King himself will write all eight episodes, which marks a bit of a departure for the author, who normally remains hands-off when it comes to adaptations of his works. Producers are reportedly seeking "high-profile" directors to work on the series.

King and Abrams have already enjoyed a fruitful relationship, having teamed up for the the Chris Evans-led legal thriller Defending Jacob.

Given the huge number of streaming services and TV networks currently competing for viewers, and the obvious need for huge amounts of content to fill all those outlets, it's no surprise that content creators keep coming back to Stephen King and his almost bottomless supply of works like Lisey's Story. When all is said and done, it's possible that there will be no Stephen King novel or short story left unadapted.
