‘The Dark Tower’ Gets Exciting Update From Mike Flanagan

Shane Romanchick is a News Writer at Collider who's focus is in horror and the DC Universe. He's an expert in Scream, Halloween, Chucky, and Batman.

The Big Picture When it comes to modern horror, Mike Flanagan has become a household name. Alongside his acclaimed films like Oculus and Doctor Sleep, the director has also pushed the genre forward on television with shows like The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass. One of the filmmaker's upcoming projects, which has a lot of fans excited, is his adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower.

The main topic of concern for most fans looking forward to Dark Tower was how Flanagan’s Exorcist film would affect the series. It was recently announced that he would be directing the next installment of the iconic horror franchise, and it currently has a Match 2026 release date. However, on the Talking Scared podcast, Flanagan gave King enthusiasts one giant exhale. “Oh, it’s not in the way. They coexist very well.

What's ‘The Dark Tower' About? Close The Dark Tower, in terms of King’s legacy, is the author’s grandest tale, spanning eight books and over four decades of other stories. The series follows mid-world's last gunslinger, Roland Deschain, in his search for the fabled Dark Tower. A location that is said to be “the nexus point of the time-space continuum”. The series also holds many connections to King’s larger body of work, often described as the center of his own literary universe.

What's Next For Mike Flanagan? Flanagan is currently set to premiere The Life of Chuck at the Toronto International Film Festival later this year, while his next horror venture, the untitled Exorcist project, will be released in theaters on March 13, 2026. It was also announced earlier this month that one of his lesser known gems, Hush, would finally be getting a VOD release this August before its first ever physical media release.
