We thankfully got our first update recently, it has now been revealed that our first look at The Dark Tower on the small screen will be a prequel tale based largely on the fourth book in the series, Wizard and Glass, and it could very well include some of the film’s stars.
The TV series was originally proposed with a narrative that would delve into the backstory of lead character Roland, but that was before it was announced that the film would actually be a sorta-sequel to The Dark Tower novels, in which Roland is already in possession of the Horn of Eld.
Here’s how the film’s co-writer and producer Akiva Goldsman explained the show’s importance.
For years, Stephen King’s epic Dark Tower series has been on the long road to a live-action universe, and while all the parts are in motion for the feature film, things haven’t gone so smoothly for the TV series, which hasn’t gained much ground since being proposed six years ago.
