So from what I am reading this show won't be based on Stephen King's stories but only the world he created.
I didn't know how to add this to my first post so I created another post:
1)I guess the question is how much of that world and the people who live in it we will see. Will this effort give us some "whatever happened to..." type stories, even fuller sequels...
2)I also wonder how involved King is in this production.
3) They could even possibly work in some of the short stories in some manner...
4) All in all this sounds fascinating just hope they can pull it off - the potential for awesomeness is there... Of course it must appeal to non-fans who won't get the most of the references that might come up.
