The setup for the death of Susan and Roland’s mother Gabrielle. Most of us hadn’t even seen pictures of the cast portraying their characters, beside Jerome Flynn who plays Steven Deschain and a few smaller parts that there were photos of in the Croatian news report.įor a while nothing happened but then recently the podcast The Kingcast did a great interview with showrunner Glen Mazzara who told us about the plans he had for the show, what he had in store for the first three seasons and more. Amazon instead decided not to proceed with the series and we now had a situation where we know there was a pilot but almost no one had seen it. Then we got to see photos from different sets and surroundings.Įventually word arrived that a pilot was done and now we were just waiting on Amazon to release a trailer and a release date. This was very different from when the movie version was filmed in the US.

We knew they were in Croatia filming a pilot and we did get some photos from the set in a Croatian newspaper but that was pretty much it. Time went on and to be honest we didn’t know much of what was happening. The cast was revealed but besides that there wasn’t much news to find about the series. That all changed when the movie didn’t fly and all thoughts on further movies were scrapped. Originally word was that that the TV series would be a compliment to the two or three movies that were supposed to be done. The showrunner is Glen Mazzara, who we all know from TV shows like The Walking Dead. Word was that it would tell the story chronologically instead of the order the books were released - a thing that many fans were happy about, myself included. OK, we’ve all heard about the TV series version of The Dark Tower.
