3 Decades Later, Stephen King’s Hit Miniseries Officially Finds New Life on Streaming

Stephen King’s 1994 miniseries *The Stand* has returned to prominence, reaching number one on Apple’s US iTunes TV chart. Its renewed popularity more than three decades after its debut shows that the post-apocalyptic story continues to attract viewers.

The four-part adaptation starred Gary Sinise, Molly Ringwald, Rob Lowe and Jamey Sheridan. It depicts survivors of a plague that kills most of humanity as they face a choice between opposing forces; a second television adaptation was released in 2020 but was less acclaimed than the original.
