Stephen King Pilot Ordered by CBS. Following a competitive bidding process, CBS has landed rights to Stephen King adaptation The Things They Left Behind.
King’s original short story The Things They Left Behind was set in the aftermath of 9/11. It was originally published in 2003 as part of the compilation Transgressions: Volume Two.
The series is intended to be a supernatural procedural drama based on the short story, which will be produced by Warner Bros TV and Berlanti Productions.

Dave was born at an early age to parents of both sexes. He has been a self-confessed geek for as long as he can remember, having been raised through the 80s on a steady diet of Doctor Who, Star Trek, Red Dwarf and (sigh) Knight Rider.
