Stephen King Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Stephen King continues to dominate headlines and creative conversations with a slew of major developments this week. The most immediate news is the release today of the official trailer for The Running Man, a big-screen adaptation of King’s 1982 dystopian novel, directed by Edgar Wright and set to hit theaters November 14th, 2025, according to StephenKing.com. King himself has praised the project and Hollywood has responded with a wide media roll-out, noting the eerie relevance of the novel’s themes now that we’ve literally caught up with its original timeline, set in 2025, as South Carolina Public Radio observes. Commentary pieces from NPR and others are exploring how King’s vision of poverty, surveillance, and media spectacle resonates more than ever as the movie’s release approaches.
In the world of TV and streaming, fans are eagerly awaiting The Institute, a series adaptation of King’s bestselling novel premiering on MGM this July, as confirmed by StephenKing.com. Meanwhile, horror buffs buzzing about King’s literary legacy are keeping an eye out for Hansel and Gretel, a reimagined children’s picture book collaboration with the late Maurice Sendak, slated for a September 2nd release.
King is as visible as ever in person. The just-published Stephen King 2025 Annual celebrates a year of prolific public appearances, readings, and fan conventions—highlighting everything from King’s major college tours and sold-out auditoriums to the first-ever Stephen KingCon in Las Vegas this year. The Annual features fans recounting meet-and-greets, plus deep dives into King’s decades of interaction with Constant Readers at readings, signings, and even church venues, as detailed by the Overlook Connection Press.
On social media, Stephen King has made headlines for a series of sharply worded posts this week. On November 16th, via his @StephenKing account, King commented on the ongoing discourse about Jeffrey Epstein and former president Donald Trump—his remarks drew both backlash and support, echoing King’s long-standing willingness to speak out on political topics, as reported by Hollywood in Toto. Earlier, his tweet on November 12th referencing George Orwell’s take on aging and politics went viral among both supporters and detractors.
In more lighthearted news, fans are reminiscing about King’s musical side. The Rock Bottom Remainders, his literary rock group, are spotlighted this month reflecting on their rumored last show at the Miami Book Fair. Meanwhile, the cult audience for King adaptations continues to grow: a retrospective in SuperheroHype this week placed The Long Walk and other King-inspired films among the year’s most anticipated genre offerings.
For daily King content, classic and brand-new, his official website and fan social channels continue to drive massive traffic, especially after he deleted and apologized for a since-removed Instagram post earlier this week, according to Instagram.
