It was announced before Stephen King and Owen King‘s Sleeping Beauties was released that a television series was being eyed, and we learned last year that AMC had given the series a pilot script commitment. The latest on the project, as revealed by AMC during the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour tonight, is that the series is moving along.

“Sleeping Beauties” is on AMC’s development slate. Executive producers include both Stephen King and Owen King, along with Michael Sugar and Ashley Zalta for Sugar23.

“I’m tremendously excited to see ‘Sleeping Beauties’ brought to life in a format that will allow the story to be told as it was meant to be told, in all its mystery and drama,“ Stephen King had stated last year.

“In a small Appalachian town, there’s a strange mystical occurrence that causes all the women to fall asleep, leaving the men to try and rescue them. But do the women want to be rescued?”
