However, the recent popularity of King adaptations, prompted by the blockbuster success of It and It: Chapter 2, means that even that tough-to-adapt story currently has a movie version in development.Īccording to writer Stephen King himself, he was once ironically informed by a reader that he didn’t write The Shawshank Redemption while the misguided fan berated him for only authoring dark and horror-centric stories. Ironically, it is only the unsettling horror-adjacent story 'The Breathing Method' that has not yet been brought to life on screen.
Despite this, the collection has produced some of his best-loved adaptations such as The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me, as well as the underrated Apt Pupil.

Despite being an anomaly in King’s canon, the collection received stellar reviews and was the inspiration for some of King’s most well-loved adaptations. Where collections like Night Shift, Skeleton Crew, and Nightmares and Dreamscapes saw King focus on horror, fantasy and sci-fi, Different Seasons was (mostly) a more grounded set of novellas from the writer. Comprised of four novellas, Different Seasons marked a departure from genre writing for King.
