After nearly two months of build-up, The Stand against Randall Flagg has been executed. The new CBS All Access adaptation of Stephen Kingâs
The Stand has now reached its big climax in its eighth episode, and audiences can now witness what happens with Glen Bateman, Larry Underwood, and Ray Brentner following their arrival in New Vegas. For the most part, like the rest of the series, the translation of the text is faithful, as most of the major beats are hit dead on â but also like the rest of the series, there are also a number of alterations that have been made, and itâs those differences that I am here to spotlight.

With its sixth episode,
The Stand has delivered its most climactic episode yet â a roaring boil following the simmer that was everything building up to it. We finally got our introduction to Ezra Miller as The Trashcan Man, Mother Abigail goes on her pilgrimage, the Boulder Free Zone spy plan completely falls apart, and it all ends with a big bang. âThe Vigilâ is the most exciting chapter thatâs aired thus far â and while most of the action is taken directly from the pages of Stephen Kingâs book, there are some notable and interesting changes that have been made to change-up the adaptation.

The Stand has arrived, with its first episode landing on CBS All Access this week. Itâs an exciting time for fans who have been watching the project move ever so slowly through development â but itâs also a key time to provide a reminder that the show isnât going to be a carbon copy of its source material. Factors including the book being multiple decades old and having been previously adapted are going to influence certain new choices made by the filmmakers. And thatâs clearly evident in the series premiere, titled âThe End.â
So what exactly has been changed? The true answer is quite a number of things, but primarily there are eight key differences that we found between the book and the show. Some of them are significant, and some of them are just simple alterations, and weâve dug into all of them below.
Wash your hands and don that face mask because CBS All Access is on the verge of premiering its modern adaptation
The Stand later this week. Based on the classic novel by Stephen King, the miniseries is more relevant than ever, as it begins with the release of a new virus that nearly wipes out all of humanity.
That may hit too close to home for many of us these days, but no one could have guessed that a global outbreak of a deadly pathogen would coincide with the show s release. Showrunner Benjamin Cavell (
