The new trailer for The Stand features themes that feel all too familiar

Stephen King’s The Stand is being adapted for CBS All Access, and its first trailer is eerily similar to the society we find ourselves living in right now.

What better thing to watch right now than a television show about both a pandemic and a battle between good and evil? And no, I’m not talking about the news!

Stephen King’s The Stand novel is being made into a series for CBS All Access. This post-apocalyptic fantasy tells the story of a weaponized strain of the flu called Captain Trips that almost kills the entire population. (Okay, so thankfully it’s not that similar.) The survivors that are left on Earth unite in two different groups — one representing light, led by Mother Abagail, and the other representing dark, led by Randall Flagg.

What happens next? You’ll just have to wait until the CBS All Access show premieres! (Or, you know, read the book.)

Here’s a look at what we can expect from the show:

The trailer is an absolute delight to watch, giving us short glimpses of what’s to come in December, as well as offering a taste of the impressive lineup of stars involved (Whoopi Goldberg, Alexander Skarsgård, James Marsden, Odessa Young, Jovan Adepo, and many more).
