The fantasy epic is considered unfilmable by many genre fans. The saga about the gunslinger Roland is told in eight volumes with more than 4000 pages and is even taken up again in other books by King. The epic adventure combines fantasy, sci-fi and western elements. How exactly Flanagan plans to adapt the series is not yet known.
However, he and his partner Trevor Macy approach the project with great ambitions. According to the Deadline report, they are planning one from King’s book series to make a five-season Amazon series, which is finally supplemented by two films. King’s template was last adapted for the cinema with The Dark Tower and flopped terribly there.
When is the fantasy series The Dark Tower coming to Amazon Prime Video?
When exactly the series and the feature films will appear on Amazon Prime is currently difficult to estimate. The project is in the early stages of its development. We expect not before the end of 2024 with the first season.
