Stephen King Goes to Hulu

Novel 11/22/63 gets a series order from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot

Well, content chief Craig Erwich has been saying since he started at Hulu that he wanted high-end programming, so I guess this really shouldn't surprise anyone: the over-the-top network has green-lit a new series from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot that's based on Stephen King's time-traveling historical thriller, 11/22/63. It's about a guy who returns to the swingin' '60s to stop the Kennedy assassination.

The show will air in nine, hour-long episodes on the streaming service and is being distributed by Warner Brothers Television Distribution, the company Erwich just left.
