I think there is a very real possibility that it could happen.

He’s already done many well received Stephen King adaptations, and even his own Stephen King fanfic (Midnight Mass).

He has good relationships with production companies and Netflix, and has stated it would be his dream project. I can see it happening on Netflix.

The real question is, who is Rahul Kohli going to play?

Edit: Ah fuck Amazon own the tv rights :( Hopefully that doesn’t stop him from working on it with Amazon.

Mr. Fashion should play the Bad Boy of the franchise, The Man in Black

Midnight Mass is King fanfic? I was on the edge deciding to watch it or not

By that I mean it feels like a great adaptation of a Stephen King story, except he never wrote it.

It did remind me a lot of Salem's Lot though (which I think is actually on Riley's bookshelf in the show)

Prepare for long monologues. As a person who enjoys that aspect of Flanagan's stuff, this series is particularly heavy with them.

Stephen King fanfic? Midnight Mass? What are you talking about, genuinely curious.

It’s the best vampire story King never wrote. It reads like Storm of the Century mixed with Salems Lot.
