This surge is driven by the streaming wars, with platforms like Netflix, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime vying for King's vast catalog. For fans, this means more faithful and ambitious retellings, and for the industry, it proves King's stories are timeless. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
