Stephen King's Cujo Will Be Reimagined In New Netflix Adaptation

Author : Natalie Mar 17,2025

In the latest round of Stephen King adaptations—or, if you prefer a more optimistic view, another exciting Stephen King movie announcement—a new film version of Cujo is on the horizon. Netflix is set to produce this new adaptation, with Vertigo Entertainment founder and producer Roy Lee attached. While still in early development, with no writers or directors yet announced, the project is officially underway.

King's novel, originally published in 1981, was famously adapted into a 1983 cult classic directed by Lewis Teague. The film, starring Dee Wallace, follows a mother's desperate struggle to protect her son from a rabid St. Bernard. Trapped in a car with a dead engine, they face a terrifying battle for survival against the increasingly aggressive Cujo, and the looming threat of heatstroke.

Cujo is just one of many beloved King stories recently receiving the big-screen (or small-screen) treatment. Oz Perkins' adaptation of King's short story, The Monkey, was released in February. Further additions to the King cinematic universe include the upcoming The Running Man starring Glen Powell, JT Mollner's The Long Walk (also produced by Lee and Vertigo), and the HBO IT prequel series, Welcome to Derry. Even the classic Carrie is getting a new life as an eight-episode Prime Video series from Mike Flanagan.

It's a great time to be a Stephen King fan.
