Idris Elba will appear a bit but a younger actor will mostly play the character as a teenager because it's a prequel. McConaughey might appear - his character will definitely appear but they might use some other actor.
It's based a bit on book 1 and mostly on book 4: Wizard and Glass. 10-13 episodes. More faithful adaptation than the movie. They are aiming for Netflix or something because of the dark story. Shoots in 2017, airs in 2018. A second season, should the first become a success could adapt stories from the Marvel Dark Tower comics.

TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

Showrunner is The Walking Dead's Glen Mazzara.
But let's be honest, the series is very unlikely to happen after the film got abysmal reviews. |
hear, hear....
i guess your right...
And as an hardcore King reader, i knew this was coming...From what ive seen allready from the movie and read from the tv show, im allready dissapointed..
i think i better dont watch the movie or anything else, the book´s have a tooooo GOOOOD memory, that i really dont wanna destroy....

Important to note the series no longer has any connection whatsoever to the film.
https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/dark-tower-series-amazon-jasper-paakkonen-sam-strike-1203169085/
Sam Strike will play The Gunslinger and Jasper Pääkkönen will play The Man in Black.
Quote: | The series is said to tell the story of how Roland became a gunslinger and his first encounter with the villainous Man in Black. |
(Pääkkönen left, Strike right)

Michael Rooker joins the cast: https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2019/06/10/michael-rooker-has-joined-the-cast-of-amazons-dark-tower-series
Quote: | Based on the scripts I've seen and the roles that have yet to be cast, I'd put my money on Rooker playing Eldred Jonas. It's also possible Rooker could be playing Steven Deschain, Roland's father, but come on: Jonas has Rooker written all over him, doesn't he? That'd be perfect. |
Quote: | I know we've all been through the Dark Tower wringer once before, but based on everything I've read, seen and heard at this point, I honestly believe they're doing it right this time. |
