Prime Video has commissioned a six-part limited series based on Stephen King’s London-set short story Crouch End.
Paul Tomalin is adapting the story, with Tom Shankland directing the global Prime Video original from Mammoth Screen.
“Stephen King is one of the defining storytellers of our time, and we’re thrilled to bring his Lovecraftian tale to life in London with Crouch End,” said Nicole Clemens, VP of international originals at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios. “Paul Tomalin brings a singular, character-driven vision to the series and, paired with Tom Shankland at the helm, plus the first-class production teams at Mammoth Screen and Fifth Season, this show will grip audiences worldwide with its visceral crime thriller and supernatural mystery.”
Tomalin commented, “After reading Crouch End some years back, Stephen King’s vivid prose has haunted my nightmares ever since. Having the honor to adapt it with the incredible team at Mammoth, Fifth Season and Amazon alongside director Tom Shankland is a dream come true. I couldn’t be more excited to bring this thrilling tale to the screen.”
