The last few years have been a roller-coaster for Stephen King fans, who have been treated to both beloved and underwhelming adaptations. One of the first retellings of King’s novels that immediately comes to mind is The Running Man, which also served as a remake of the popular 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger action film of the same name. Despite the combined star power of Glen Powell, Josh Brolin, and Colman Domingo, The Running Man bombed at the box office before going on to dominate Paramount Plus. However, 2025 did bring on a beloved King adaptation with IT: Welcome to Derry, the HBO Max prequel series that earned solid scores of 80% from critics and 82% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes. The first season was so well-received that HBO had no choice but to greenlight another season.
