The Stand TV Mini-series Premiere Date Released

CBS All Access has released the official premiere date for new TV mini-series adaptation of Stephen King‘s The Stand (2020). The Stand will premiere on CBS All Access on December 17, 2020.

Plot Synopsis

The Stand‘s plot synopsis: based on the book by Stephen King, The Stand deals with the way “the world ends: with a nanosecond of computer error in a Defense Department laboratory and a million casual contacts that form the links in a chain letter of death. And here is the bleak new world of the day after, a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides — or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abigail — and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man.”

Cast and crew

The Stand stars Greg Kinnear, Heather Graham, Eion Bailey, Katherine McNamara, Hamish Linklater, Alexander Skarsgård, Jovan Adepo, Owen Teague, Brad William Henke, Daniel Sunjata, James Marsden, Amber Heard, Whoopi Goldberg, Greg Kinnear, Odessa Young, and Henry Zaga.
