À propos de cet audio
Stephen King may be keeping a relatively low in person profile this week, but his shadow is everywhere, on screens, stages, and especially online, where his political bite is as sharp as ever. According to the official Stephen King website, 2025 continues to be a landmark year for adaptations of his work, with Edgar Wrights film of The Running Man rolling out to theaters and drawing heavy cultural commentary because King originally set the novel in the year 2025 itself, a near future dystopia of media manipulation and corporate control that critics at outlets like NPR and Ideastream say now feels eerily contemporary. At the same time, that same official site is still pushing the new Hansel and Gretel picture book created with the Maurice Sendak estate, proof that in his late seventies King is comfortable moving from hard R dystopia to dark fairy tale for all ages without missing a beat.
Industry coverage from Screen Rant and Collider reports that both seasons of Castle Rock, the psychologically dense TV expansion of Kings fictional Maine town, will hit Netflix in mid December, a streaming move that could give the series and the King multiverse a second life with a younger binge audience who never had Hulu. In regional theater, The Public Theatre in Lewiston, Maine is promoting its 2025 26 season anchored by a stage production of Misery adapted from his novel, confirming that King is now as much a staple of American repertory stages as he is of movie multiplexes.
On the political front, King remains fierce and very public. Gamereactor chronicles his recent post on X warning that President Donald Trumps deployment of troops in major U.S. cities could be a step toward restricting voting, with King bluntly framing it as the classic step by step path to authoritarian takeover. AOL News separately reports on his latest broadside against Elon Musks growing influence over Trump, a warning he delivered on Threads, where he reminded followers that Musk cannot legally be president yet is nonetheless, in Kings words, running the show. Those interventions, amplified across social media and news sites, are the kind of late career public stands that biographers will parse for decades, the horror writer as democratic scold and moral commentator.
That is the Stephen King story of the last few days: not on a book tour podium, but in the bloodstream of politics, pop culture, and adaptation after adaptation.
