Overview
- Prime Video announced on Thursday that it has ordered a six‑episode limited series based on Stephen King’s Lovecraftian short story Crouch End.
- Paul Tomalin will adapt the story and Tom Shankland will direct, with Mammoth Screen and Fifth Season producing and Tomalin, Shankland, Damien Timmer, Rebecca Keane and Ben Irving serving as executive producers.
- Prime Video released an official synopsis that frames the series as a London crime‑supernatural mystery in which actress Doris Freeman reports her husband missing and Inspector Ted Vetter must probe whether she is truthful, culpable, or facing a darker force.
- The series will be produced in the U.K., but casting, a production schedule and a release date have not been announced in the current coverage.
- Crouch End joins a long line of King adaptations and earlier versions of the story, including a 2006 TV segment and an audiobook narrated by Tim Curry, and the new series could boost local jobs and Prime Video’s slate of high‑profile U.K. originals.
