Produced by JJ Abrams.
Variety link.
quote:
The miniseries, based on King’s best-selling 2011 novel published by Simon & Schuster imprint Scribner, follows high school English teacher Jake Epping, who travels back in time to try to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas on the fateful date in American history.
A premiere date for “11/22/63,” to be released as nine hour-long episodes, has not been set. Meanwhile, Hulu has not determined whether it will make the full series available exclusively to Hulu Plus subscribers, or whether some episodes will be free on Hulu.com.
Executive producers are King, Abrams through his Bad Robot Prods. (“Person of Interest,” “Fringe,” “Lost”), Bridget Carpenter and Bryan Burk. Carpenter will write the teleplay. Bad Robot’s Kathy Lingg is co-executive producer, and Athena Wickham is producer.
In announcing the pact, Stephen King said: “If I ever wrote a book that cries out for long-form, event-TV programming, ‘11/22/63’ is it. I’m excited that it’s going to happen, and am looking forward to working with J.J. Abrams and the whole Bad Robot team.”

Book is fantastic. Drags a little in the middle as he's following Oswald around, but not enough to turn you off from finishing it (hopefully). Really well done story, one of my favorite King books in a long time.

King's endings have always been hit-or-miss with me, but I liked this one. I read that his son (Joe Hill) helped him re-work the ending. I thought it was a very good way to go out.

His son read his original ending and didn't like it so he wrote one himself and that's the ending they used.

Well, shite. Hulu plus is the one streaming service I don't have. Might have to 'find' the series elsewhere.
For those that haven't read the book, give it a shot. King does an excellent job of describing Dallas during that period.

For my money, it was his best book since "IT".
Call me a nostalgic old fart, but the time that the main character, Jake Epping, spends in Derry, Maine (especially a couple kids he runs into) is outstanding.
The developing love story between Jake and Sadie is much more interesting than the Oswald/Kennedy stuff.
Ending is very pleasing.

Agree. I enjoyed the "it" flashbacks.

Incredible book. Glad to see they are doing this, because I thought it would get a movie. And even a very long movie couldn't do it justice.
