Upcoming Lisey's Story Limited Series Adds Clive Owen

Apple TV's upcoming eight-hour limited series based on Stephen King's 2006 novel, Lisey's Story, has found its second star in British actor Clive Owen, joining Oscar winner Julianne Moore. Owen recently appeared in Gemini Man and is additionally known for roles in such films as Closer and Children of Men.

The series stars Oscar winner Julianne Moore (Still Alice) alongside Clive Owen (Gemini Man) and will be produced under J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions banner, with the leading lady also on board as executive producer alongside Ben Stephenson. Pablo Larrain is directing with author Stephen King penning each episode. Abrams has been working with Apple on a number of exclusive projects recently, with this adaptation being only the latest.

Lisey’s Story is a dark tale of psychological horror that follows Lisey Landon, the widow of a famous novelist who recently passed away. The story takes place both in the present as well as the past as Lisey recalls traumatic memories of her time with her husband, his fans, his special gift, and his own past filled with death and severe mental illness across his family’s troubled history.

There’s no word yet on when the Lisey’s Story limited series will make its way to Apple’s streaming service, but we will be sure to keep you posted with all the latest right here on Dead Entertainment.
