The Talisman tells the story of 12-year-old Jack Sawyer who goes on an epic journey in search of the Talisman, a relic that has the potential to save his dying mother's life, and even save the rest of the world. His journey takes him across the country and into a dangerous parallel universe known as the Territories, a place mentioned in the extract that Lucas reads in Stranger Things that sounds eerily similar to the Duffer Brothers' Upside Down. While this is an interesting connection between the novel and the world of Stranger Things, the appearance of this particular novel also teases the Duffer Brothers' next project—an adaptation of The Talisman as its own Netflix series.

What We Know About Netflix's The Talisman Show

Not much is currently known about The Talisman Netflix series, but it has been confirmed that Matt and Ross Duffer will be working as executive producers on the TV show alongside Steven Spielberg. One of the all-time great sci-fi film legends, Spielberg bought the film rights to The Talisman in 1982, two years before the book was even released, and has been trying to create an adaptation of King and Straub's novel for over 35 years, first in the form of a movie and then a TV miniseries, to no avail. Luckily, with their experience delving into the fantasy-fiction world of alternate realities and strange monsters in Stranger Things, the Duffer Brothers might be the perfect choice to give a helping hand on the new Netflix series. The brothers aren't the only Stranger Things alumni heading over to The Talisman, with Curtis Gwinn, a producer on the horror show, ing the crew as showrunner and writer.

The Netflix adaptation of The Talisman is still in its very early days. However, the Duffer Brothers have confirmed that they've had meetings with Spielberg and other producers and already have an outline of the first episode, meaning audiences might not have to wait too long for more information about the series.
