A24 Adapts King's 'Fairy Tale' into 10-Episode TV Series

Originally intended as a feature film, the dark fantasy novel will be expanded for television under the direction of Paul Greengrass.

Stephen King's first fantasy novel, 'Fairy Tale,' was initially planned as a film but is now being developed into a TV series by A24.
Paul Greengrass, known for the 'Jason Bourne' films, was attached to direct the film and is expected to be involved in the series as well.
J.H. Wyman, with credits on 'Fringe' and 'Almost Human,' will serve as the showrunner for the 10-episode adaptation.
The novel follows a teenager, Charlie Reade, who discovers a portal to an alternate world where he becomes embroiled in a battle between good and evil.
The decision to adapt 'Fairy Tale' as a series was due to the novel's length, making it better suited for longform storytelling.
