Stephen King's Talisman TV Show Update Shared by Duffer Brothers

StrangerThings creators The Duffer Brothers discuss their progress on a TV adaptation of Stephen King's The Talisman.

The Duffer Brothers share a status update on their TV adaptation of Stephen King's The Talisman and discuss their excitement about the project. King partnered with horror writer Peter Straub to release The Talisman in 1984, a lengthy novel about a young boy who travels to a parallel world to find a powerful crystal that can heal his sick mother.

MATT DUFFER: Well, if you can believe it, we’re really into Stephen King, and this was the ultimate. Our friend Curtis Gwinn, one of the main writers on Stranger Things actually asked if we’d be interested in getting involved. There was a show that he was talking with Amblin about. We were immediately excited. We loved The Talisman.

So, something like Talisman that even five years ago was not doable, is very doable now. It involves a lot of things that are very similar to Stranger Things. It’s about a kid who’s trying to save his dying mother and he travels into another dimension in order to do so. I mean, it’s much more fantasy. It has sci-fi. It has horror elements. It has a lot of heart. It has everything that we love. And it’s got the best werewolf character I think, ever.

ROSS DUFFER: It’s definitely a dream project. In terms of when it’s going to get made. I don’t know. We just had a meeting about it, but it’s just an outline for the first episode. It’s a ways off but we’re really excited about it.
