Rekindled, released as a Sci-fi Channel (SYFY's former name) miniseries in March of 2002 and now streaming on Peacock, aimed to explore those questions. We don't know how Charlie managed to grow up, or if she managed to grow up, let alone how she dealt with her deadly abilities in a hostile world where dark government forces might still be on her trailer.
By the end of the story she's lost her family, but she's seemingly found an avenue to a new home, and even a way to tell her story to the world, but that's where we leave her. It also, 20 years ago this spring, gave us Firestarter: Rekindled.įirestarter, both King's original 1980 novel and the 1984 film adaptation it inspired (a fresh take on Firestarter hits theaters and Peacock on May 13), offers a rather open-ended conclusion to the story of pryokinetic girl Charlie McGee. It's a tradition that's given us everything from The Rage: Carrie 2 to a seemingly endless outpouring of Children of the Corn sequels. Beginning with A Return to Salem's Lot in 1987 (which is its own very weird story for another day), producers began imagining their own follow-ups to some of King's most popular stories.
The horror master has never been especially shy about returning to characters who live on in his head, and over the years has penned follow-ups to everything from The Shining to The Talisman, as well as interconnected novels that share characters and locations like Needful Things, The Dead Zone, Cujo, and much more.īut Stephen King isn't the only person who can write Stephen King sequels, at least not in the film and TV world.
Stephen King has written his fair share of sequels.
