As depicted in both Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep, The Overlook Hotel is one of horror cinema’s most beloved, iconic locations – which is why it wasn’t surprising in the slightest when Warner Bros. announced in spring 2020 that a new series was being developed about the haunted Rocky Mountain lodging.
Unfortunately, that project has now hit a few bumps in the road.
It has been revealed that the show is no longer being developed as an HBO Max original, which is how it was originally pitched… though the good news is that the idea isn’t dead and is now just looking for a new home.
