In August 2017, Stephen King expressed an interest in seeing his novel adapted as a television series: "Lisey's Story is my favorite of the books and I would love to see that done, especially now that there's a kind of openness on the streaming services on TV and even the cable networks. There's more freedom to do stuff now and when you do a movie from a book, there's this thing that I call the sitting on a suitcase syndrome. That is where you try to pack in all the clothes at once and the suitcase won't close. So it's tough to take a book that is fully textured, and do it in two hours and 10 minutes. But as a TV show you have 10 hours."[2]

In April 2019, it was announced that Apple Inc. had acquired the rights to the novel and gave it an eight-episode straight to series order to air on their streaming service, with all episodes scripted by King. Julianne Moore was cast as Lisey, and Pablo Larraín was designated to direct.[1] In October, Clive Owen was added to the cast,[3] with Joan Allen and Dane DeHaan joining in November,[4][5] and Sung Kang joining in December.[6] In January 2020, Jennifer Jason Leigh was revealed to be in the cast.[7] In February 2020, it was announced that Darius Khondji had joined the series as cinematographer.[8]

Filming began on October 23, 2019 at the historic Van Liew-Suydam House in Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey.[9][10] In December 2019, filming took place in the village of Tuckahoe in Westchester County, New York.[11] In mid-March 2020, filming was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Larraín said that "a few weeks" of shooting were left before the shutdown occurred.[12][13]

On January 6, 2021, Apple announced that Lisey's Story will premiere in 2021.[14]
