CAIRO – 24 February 2018: Master of horror writing Stephen King will see another of his works adapted to screen.

Coming in the wake of the titanic success of “It” last year and a highly anticipated sequel to “The Shining” titled “Doctor Sleep” being announced, Deadline reports that King's narrative poem “The Bone Church” is next in line to be adapted, this time as a television series.

First written in 1960 and later published in Playboy, the poem is the story of a drunken old explorer in a bar, who recounts the experiences he has as a part of an expedition in a journey to find the titular church, only to encounter horrors they couldn't have fathomed.

The story is being adapted by Chris Long and David Ayer's Cedar Park Entertainment, though there's no telling yet as to where the series is coming to.
Long had previously been responsible for adapting King's novel “Mr. Mercedes” into a highly acclaimed web-series, while David Ayer was the director of Netflix's Will-Smith led “Bright”.

The adaptation train isn't stopping for King either, as the author has reportedly been attempting to reclaim the rights to his “Children of the Corn” series, while also teasing of a possible new adaptation for his critically acclaimed book, “The Stand”.
