Stephen King’s The Things They Left Behind gets put pilot order at CBS

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

CBS has had quite a bit of success with their "Under the Dome", a series based on the novel by Stephen King. Now the network is hoping that lightning strikes twice as they have ordered a put pilot for King's supernatural procedural "The Things They Left Behind", reports Deadline.

The project, produced by Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti’s studio-based Berlanti Prods., has received a put pilot from the network. A put pilot is a pilot that the network has agreed to air, and generally guarantees that the pilot will be picked up by the network for series.

Written by Seth Grahame-Smith, "The Things They Left Behind" centers on…

…an unlikely pair of investigators carrying out the unfinished business of the dead.

Grahame-Smith and his producing partner David Katzenberg will executive produce through their KatzSmith banner, along with Berlanti Prods.’ Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter.

"The Things They Left Behind", set in the aftermath of 9/11, was originally published in 2003 as part of the compilation "Transgressions: Volume Two". It was adapted into an extended short film by filmmaker Pablo Macho Maysonet IV.

I'm always up for some more Stephen King material on the small screen so this is exciting news. More on "The Things They Left Behind" as we hear it!
