Stephen King’s ‘The Talisman’ adapted into series

Stephen King and Peter Straub's 1984 fantasy novel "The Talisman" is in the works for the small screen.

According to sources close to the project, veteran filmmaker Steven Spielberg is collaborating with the "Stranger Things" creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, on adapting the book as a series for Netflix.

The Duffers will executive produce via their Monkey Massacre Productions, which will be produced by Netflix in association with Spielberg’s Amblin Television and Paramount Television Studios.

Curtis Gwinn, who worked as a writer-exec producer on "Stranger Things", is set to write and showrun the project, which is in development.

The Talisman centers around a 12-year-old boy named Jack Sawyer who searches for a powerful relic called the Talisman to save his dying mother, which he learns can also save the world. Sawyer’s journey crisscrosses two realities: America and its dangerous, fantasy-world twin, The Territories.

The book was an instant best-seller when it hit stores in 1984 and had received a sequel in 2001.

The Duffers are currently working on season four of "Stranger Things", which is expected to return this year.
