In a certain light, Stephen Kingâs
The Stand exists as a living document. The post-apocalyptic novel was originally published in 1978, but the author has taken multiple opportunities to change the text. In 1990 an unabridged version of the book was published, adding about 400 pages to the story as it was originally published, and a few years after that he personally took on the task of adapting the material as a six-hour miniseries.
More than a quarter century has passed since that last update, but now King has made further revisions in the form of a new coda that will air as the final episode of the new miniseries on CBS All Access. Itâs an exciting development for all Constant Readers, and now making it only more anticipated is the revelation that the character at the center of the new âchapterâ will be Fran Goldsmith â played by Odessa Young in the new adaptation.
