Netflix canceled its planned series adaptation of the fantasy novel "The Talisman," authored by Stephen King and Peter Straub.
The project had been in development for years, led by Matt and Ross Duffer. The Duffer Brothers, creators of the successful series "Stranger Things," confirmed the adaptation is no longer moving forward at the streaming service.
The Duffer Brothers cited difficulty in adapting the novel, stating the process proved harder than anticipated. This cancellation marks another setback in the book's long history of troubled screen attempts. No market reaction to the announcement was immediately available.
