JJ Abrams Stephen King The Overlook Update Of The Shining Series

Much like the ghostly residents of the Overlook Hotel, a show based on the famous venue has deceasedbut is (probably) come back to life. Last year the news broke that as part of his company’s agreement with WarnerMedia, JJ Abrams was developing a program called Neglect based on that of Stephen King The brilliant. The show was supposed to air on HBO Max, but reports are that Max has now passed the baton and is giving his competitors a try. And, to anyone’s surprise, Netflix is ​​apparently ahead of the pack.

Neglect was supposed to be a 10 episode horror show about the hotel in which The brilliant takes place. So not a Stanley Kubrick story The brilliant or his film directed by Mike Flanagan following Doctor Sleep, but almost a step back to reveal other gruesome stories that unfolded there, which could include characters from The brilliant. It’s an interesting and marketable concept, so it seems odd that HBO Max decides not to go ahead – and eeven if Netflix does not catch it, somewe are likely to. Names like Abrams and King are too recognizable to ignore.

Abrams and his company Bad Robot again continue working with Warner under his huge global contract. He still has shows coming to HBO Max (like the highly anticipated Dark Justice League) as well as the first show Abrams himself created in over a decade, Demimonde, an upcoming sci-fi show on HBO. So of course there is always that animated batman show, more Westworld—aall the things he’s worked on before. More, this new superman movie and probably others things that have not yet been made public. So Warner is still very present in the affairs of JJ Abrams; the company is just check Neglect. We will update this story if and when there is more news.
