THE STAND is Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world decimated by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil. The fate of mankind rests on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail and a handful of survivors. Their worst nightmares are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the Dark Man.
Originally released on CBS All Access last year in the US, The Stand makes its debut in Canada on Amazon Prime Video. Click here to add The Stand to your watch list then watch it in the comfort of your lazy-boy on your favorite streaming device, including Roku.
When you're done binging the series, be sure to catch up on these great series now showing on STACKTV with Prime Video Channels:
- Clarice: (Global TV) The highly anticipated new suspense thriller starring Rebecca Breeds (The Originals) in the title role. Clarice is a deep dive into the untold personal story of FBI Agent Clarice Starling as she returns to the field in 1993, one year after the events of The Silence of the Lambs.
- Temple: (Showcase) The story of a successful surgeon (Mark Strong, 1917) who, following a personal tragedy, sets up an underground clinic in the tunnels and spaces beneath London to assist criminals and the like for cash.
- The Hotzone: (NatGeo) The Hot Zone, inspired by the true events detailed in Richard Preston’s international best-seller of the same name, will share the harrowing tale of a global crisis that never was. In 1989, in a scientific facility outside Washington, D.C., the deadly Ebola virus made its first known appearance on U.S. soil. The discovery — and eventual containment — of this lethal filovirus, which had a fatality rate of up to 90 percent at the time, was thanks to a group of courageous scientists and soldiers led by Lt. Col. Nancy Jaax (Margulies).
