Initially reported by THR, IGN can confirm that Lisey’s Story will be produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions. This straight-to-series story will star Oscar winner Julianne Moore as the titular character. In addition to King writing all eight, hour-long episodes, he will also serve as executive producer alongside Moore, Abrams and Ben Stephenson.
Lisey’s Story is a thriller that follows a woman named Lisey two years after her husband’s death. Lisey begins facing truths about her husband that she had repressed and forgotten. THR’s sources claim the show’s producers are currently looking for high-profile directors for the series. Apple reportedly came out on top of a highly-competitive bidding war for the project.
