About the Show

Misery
By William Goldman, adapted from the novel by Stephen King

After a roadside accident, author Paul Sheldon wakes up incapacitated in the home of his “number one fan” - the sweet but menacing Annie Wilkes. And she isn’t happy with his latest work at all. Injured from the crash and at Annie’s mercy, Paul soon realizes her adoration leans more toward obsession… and now he’s writing for his life.

Based on Stephen King’s best-selling novel that inspired the Oscar winning film, this tense cat-and-mouse game will grip you until the very end. This spine-tingling psychological thriller traps you in the room with Paul, and his desperate bid to outsmart Annie and escape.

Content advisory: This Stephen King thriller features a psychopathic bibliophile whose weapons of choice include prescription drugs, various guns, physical violence and sledgehammers, and a captive victim who, quite understandably, uses very strong adult language.
