Fans are clamoring to see more of Tim DeHaan’s unnerving performance on Stephen King Series TV. Entertainment Weekly interviewed DeHaan about his character as Jim Dooley, an antagonist in the book.

Adaptation to "Mr. Mercedes".
The Stephen King novels inspired the first season of Mr. Mercedes. David E. Kelley is the show's original creator. He will be back to write the scripts for the next season and executive produce it. Jack Bender, who collaborated previously with King in Under the Dome will join him. In addition to Kelley, the series' writers are Temple Hill Entertainment's Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, and Sonar's Tom Lesinski. Stephen King adaptations are always exciting.
While King's novels are often faithful to their source material, adaptations have their own challenges. Sometimes, an adaptation is too loose or too close to the original. While Mr. Mercedes does make significant changes, he manages to be faithful to King’s story.

How To
How do I buy TV time?
It is important to have an idea for a show that people will want to watch. You don't have to buy airtime if you don’t have an idea. You can always pitch ideas to local stations. They often look for original content.
If you find a station that is willing to air your request, be sure to research what they have done in the past. See if there is anything you could learn from the shows.
Next is to create a screenplay. Be sure to structure it and write well. It doesn’t matter how lengthy it takes to create it, as long you complete it within a reasonable time.
Once you are happy with your script, send it off to the station. Let them know who you are and why you believe this show would succeed. Also, let them know what format you prefer.
You will likely also have to provide references (such as other shows they've produced), and examples of your previous scripts.
If you receive a response, it will let you know if the show is possible. You can contact the show's producer directly to receive a response.
