The Stand is a 9 part adaptation of Stephen King’s 1978 novel (another screened in just 4 parts in 1994) ironically completed filming just before COVID-19 gripped much of the western world. King has written a new coda for his story.
The limited series comes with an impressive cast, including Whoopi Goldberg, Alexander Skarsgård, James Marsden, Greg Kinnear in its ensemble and cameos or supporting roles from J.K. Simmons, Heather Graham, Bryan Cranston and more. Just who is the hero of the series seems to shift, including from teen writer Harold Lauder (Owen Teague) to Stu Redman (James Marsden) and, in episode 2, musician Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo) …and there is a gravitation towards Mother Abagail (Whoopi Goldberg) whose all-knowing wisdom is a magnet for lost souls.
Jovan Adepo Talks the Most Difficult Part of Making The Stand
The Stand, Pocket Savior, introduced viewers to another major character in the series, Larry Underwood. Played by Jovan Adepo, Larry is a musician whose music career doesn t quite go as planned when he ends up one of the few to survive the Captain Trips pandemic. The episode sees Larry and fellow survivor Rita Blakemoor (Heather Graham) needing to escape New York at the start of what will ultimately be a journey west. And while leaving the city is only the start of things for Larry, according to Adepo it s that escape that contained one of the most challenging experiences he faced making the series.

Spoilers for âThe Standâ on CBS All Access and Stephen King s 1978 book
Mystery and tragedy fill the second episode of âThe Standâ. Based on Stephen King s 1978 novel, the tale shifts from introducing Frannie Goldsmith (Odessa Young), Harold Lauder (Owen Teague), and Stu Redman (James Marsden) to showing a glimpse of the lives of Larry Underwood (Jovan Adepo) and Lloyd Henreid (Nat Wolff). Instead of following the linear narrative of the book, the series uses the flashback formula to peep into the characters lives.
After âThe Endâ ended on a mysterious cliffhanger about the visions, âPocket Saviorâ leans into Larry s love story with Rita Blakemoor (Heather Graham) and Lloyd s life behind the bars after a robbery-gone-wrong. Over an hour long, the drama begins with Larry s playing his breakout hit âBaby Can You Dig Your Manâ at concerts as the entire band calls in sick after the virus Captain Trips spreads around
