The Dark Tower is set to hit theaters, with a potential TV series in development. Glenn Mazara, known for his work on The Walking Dead, will serve as the showrunner. The series aims to adapt Stephen King's complex narrative, focusing on Roland's coming of age, and is currently in early stages without a network. The film, starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, is independent from the series, though there is some overlap. The TV series will explore a younger Roland and his group, based on the fourth book, Wizard and Glass. Casting for these roles is ongoing. The Hollywood Reporter encourages viewers to share their thoughts on the movie.
