- Director: Josh Boone
In detail
Our selection of the top 2021 TV series features a post-apocalyptic novelty based on Stephen King. The mini-series is based on the novel of the horror king of the same name, published in 1978. In a world devastated by a great plague, a fierce struggle between good and evil is being waged. The fate of humanity rests on the fragile shoulders of 108-year-old mother Abagail and several other survivors. But all of their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a deadly smile and ineffable power - the vile Dark Man, Randall Flagge.
In 1994, Confrontation was adapted by ABC as a television miniseries. And while the show was well received by audiences and long remained a favorite with some of King's fans, it was not the most successful adaptation.
Some viewers still wanted a bigger, brutal, and epic version to appear on screen one day. Now, after years of development, we've finally gotten this adaptation in a ten-episode miniseries from visionary director Josh Boone and featuring Hollywood stars, not to mention a new finale conceived by King himself.
