Publisher's Synopsis
The definitive guide to The Stand miniseries, featuring the new Coda from Stephen King himself.
In an apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil, the fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.
In 1979 Stephen King published The Stand, a massive apocalyptic tale that set the standard for all those stories that followed. The book was another King bestseller, leading to the release of The Complete and Uncut version in 1990, a 1994 ABC four-part mini-series and a 31-issue Marvel Comics adaptation in 2009. The new 9-episode series for CBS All Access, which premiered at the end of 2020, revisits King's opus to bring the story into the 21st Century. This new version will feature a brand-new coda written specifically for the new series by Stephen King himself.
