The upcoming re-adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand is set to premiere on December 17, and CBS All Access has now released a series of stylish character posters.
The banners spotlight the forces of good, who align themselves with Whoopie Goldberg's "Mother" Abagail Freemantle, and those who choose to stand with the demonic Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgård).
EW has also shared three new stills from the show, focusing on "dark side" characters Flagg, Lloyd Henried (Nat Wolff), Nadine Cross (Amber Hear), Rat Woman (Fiona Dourif), and Trashcan Man, who we recently learned will be played by Justice League actor Ezra Miller.
For those unfamiliar with King's novel, The Stand deals with a global pandemic (yes, it's a scarily prescient tale) known as "Captain Tripps" which wipes out 99% of the world's population. The survivors are immune to the disease, but are ultimately forced to fight each other as some are drawn to a the light (Abagail), and others to darkness (Flagg).
New Mutants director Josh Boone, who was the driving force behind all previous attempts to adapt the book, will direct, write, and produce the upcoming miniseries.
