CBS All Access has released the full trailer for their nine-episode series adaptation of Stephen King’s post-apocalyptic dark fantasy novel “The Stand” which launches December 17th.

Josh Boone and Ben Cavell are the producers behind the series in which a computer error in a Defense Department laboratory leading to a pandemic and a bleak new world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99% of its people.

A handful of panicky survivors choose sides as good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abigail — and evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg.

The cast includes Whoopi Goldberg as Mother Abagail, Alexander Skarsgard as Randall Flagg, James Marsden as Stu Redman, Amber Heard as Nadine Cross, Jovan Adepo as Larry Underwood, Heather Graham as Rita Blakemoor, Owen Teague as Harold Lauder, and Odessa Young as Frannie Goldsmith.
