All Stephen King movies and series coming in 2023

If there’s one writer who continues to be enjoyed by many readers in modern popular culture, it’s Stephen King, who is in the process of completing 314 adaptations of his work this year. And for those who are loyal fans of his work, you’ll be happy to know that there are several films and series about his work due out during 2023 that you shouldn’t miss out on.

While Mike Flanagan continues to work on his adaptation of ‘The Dark Tower’ for Amazon Prime Video, there are more Stephen King movies and series coming in 2023. Starting with ‘The Boogeyman’, an adaptation of the 1978 short story, to be directed by Rob Savage, with a screenplay written by Mark Heyman, Scott Beck, Bryan Woods and Akela Cooper. The film is coming to Hulu and will be released this year.

The Salem lot

Next in the list of Stephen King adaptations for 2023 is ‘Salem’s Lot’, based on the novel of the same name published in 1975. It is rather a remake, and at the same time a modern interpretation of the classic by King, which will be written and directed by Gary Dauberman, and which has undergone several delays . Because of this, it doesn’t have a release date, but it should hit theaters for the Halloween season.

Pet Seminar

Another of the author’s stories, which has already been made into a film on several occasions, is ‘Pet Semetary’, but this time it will have a prequel with never-before-released material. It is one of the most anticipated Stephen King adaptations of the year, which comes after two films, and which will now explore the origins of the Wendigo and the town. No release date, but it’s coming straight to Paramount+.

Buick

Unlike ‘Christine’, who was the inspiration for the Batmobile in ‘The Batman’, ‘Buick’ is much more brutal and visceral in its scenes. And the same is to be expected from its adaptation, which had George A. Romero and Tobe Hooper in its ranks, but Jim Mickle is now believed to be heading up the whole project. It could be released later this year on Amazon Prime Video.

The girl who loved Tom Gordon

Without a doubt, one of the least known stories of Stephen King’s career is “The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon”. Few have dared to adapt this material in which a girl who is lost in the woods dreams that her favorite athlete is after her rescue. Netflix is ​​said to have taken over the rights to this adaptation, which could be released at the end of the year in its catalogue.

The revelation of Becka Paulson

As part of Rolling Stone magazine, and also within the story of ‘The Tommyknockers’ we have the short story ‘The Revelation of Becka Paulson’. A woman who is shot in her skull, but far from killing her, gives her psychic powers. Its adaptation is made by The CW and the film has been confirmed to arrive in 2023.

The long way

Finally, the year closes with one of the most dystopian stories, signed by Stephen King under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. The plot is simple, a group of participants in a sadistic dynamic must travel long distances at a constant speed, otherwise they could be executed. André Ovredal is the director of the project, although no further details are known about it.
