How to adapt Stephen King for television
Briefly

Stephen King has the most numerous adaptations among living authors, yet many consider them poorly executed. Recent adaptations like 'It: Welcome to Derry' and 'The Institute' show attempts to better portray his narratives. 'Welcome to Derry' is a prequel to the films 'It,' while 'The Institute' tells a gripping story of a telekinetic boy in an institution. Adapting King's works poses a challenge due to his characters' deep inner lives, which are hard to translate visually, especially when the protagonists are children.

The upcoming 'It: Welcome to Derry' aims to expand the cinematic universe of King's work, reflecting a renewed effort to adapt his novels more faithfully.
