Lisey’s Story: Stephen King series trailer sets up a wicked scavenger hunt

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Some people say that those who leave us are never truly gone. What if that were true? What if, after death, the person you care about most reached out to you from beyond the grave? Something like that would assuredly warp your reality, which is exactly what Lisey Landon is about to find out. Today, Apple TV+ has released a trailer for its limited series adaptation of Stephen King's 2006 novel Lisey's Story.

Set to premiere June 4th on Apple TV +, Lisey's Story is a deeply personal thriller that follows Lisey Landon (Academy Award winner Julianne Moore) two years after the death of her husband, famous novelist Scott Landon (Academy Award nominee Clive Owen). A series of unsettling events causes Lisey to face memories of her marriage to Scott that she has deliberately blocked out of her mind.

Lisey's Story is directed by Pablo Larraín and hails from J.J. Abrams's Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros. Television. King, Moore, and Larraín executive produce alongside Abrams, Ben Stephenson, and Juan de Dios Larraín. Every episode of the series was personally written by King. Joan Allen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ron Cephas Jones, Sung Kang, and Dane DeHaan also star.

Leave it to Stephen King to create something deeply disturbing and then have that business transformed into a chilling limited series. I'm digging the overall look of Lisey's Story, and I definitely want to know what's up with those statue-like figures stationed around that ominous waterbed.

The eight-episode haunted scavenger hunt begins on June 4th only on Apple TV+.
