Another Stephen King bestseller could be headed to TV.

The author’s time-travel novel 11/22/63 may become a TV series with J.J. Abrams as an executive producer, sources confirm. Abrams’ Bad Robot production company and Warner Bros. TV are in talks to adapt the author’s 2011 novel, about a teacher who travels back in time and tries to prevent the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

The novel’s tale seems like it’s more suitable for a film or mini-series than an open-ended show, but time-travel TV concepts have certainly managed to find success previously. In the book, the protagonist travels back to five years before Kennedy’s murder, so there’s a lengthy period detailing his adjustment to life in the past and stalking Kennedy’s assassin Lee Harvey Oswald before the story gets to November, 1963.
