11/22/63: James Franco to Lead Hulu’s Stephen King Adaptation

Hulu’s adaptation of the Stephen King book, “11/22/63,” has nabbed James Franco as its lead, Hulu and Warner Bros. announced.

The nine-episode series — which will be produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot production company, and written by Bridget Carpente — follows English teacher Jake Epping (Franco), who “travels back in time to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. But his mission is threatened by Lee Harvey Oswald, his falling in love and the past itself … which doesn’t want to be changed.”
