On January 26, 2018, it was announced that an adaptation of Doctor Sleep was fast-tracked into development at Warner Bros. with Flanagan set to direct, who had previously directed another one of King's adaptations, Gerald's Game for Netflix, with Trevor Macy and Jon Berg producing the film and King serving as executive producer and creative consultant.[1]
