Depicting a post apocalyptic world razed by a weaponized strain of influenza, the miniseries will focus on the few that have survived the lethal plague. The official premise reads as such: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;King&#8217;s apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil. The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied by a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Randall_Flagg\">Randall Flagg<\/a>, the nefarious &#8216;Dark Man&#8217;.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ironically, nearly 40 years later, the novel is even more relevant today with the outbreak of COVID-19. While the &#8220;superflu&#8221; found in the pages of <em>The Stand <\/em>is thankfully much more lethal than COVID-19, it is still eerie to think that King&#8217;s novel might not be as far fetched after all. Regarding the upcoming miniseries, King himself commented on the uncanny similarities to the COVID-19 pandemic, stating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m still apologizing for it 40, 50 years later. People will come along and say through their little masks, &#8216;I feel like I&#8217;m living in a Stephen King story.&#8217; My response is, &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry for that.'&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can watch CBS All Access&#8217;s <em>The Stand <\/em>on December 17, 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2020\/08\/the-stand-cbs-all-access-premiere-date-stephen-king-whoopi-goldberg-1203022343\/\">Deadline.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen King&#8217;s &#8216;The Stand&#8217;
