Mike Flanagan, the horror mogul who made several hit series for Netflix, and Stephen King, the prolific writer of countless novels, have formed one of the most trusting relationships in entertainment.

After more than a year of speculation, we finally have our first look at the series — and apparently, it’s making some big changes.
