The premise

In a world mostly wiped out by the 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.

Horror Vault's take

A devastating supervirus tears through civilization, leaving a scattered remnant of survivors to navigate a shattered world. As the living are drawn toward two opposing forces — one rooted in hope and the other in terrifying darkness — the battle for humanity's soul begins to take shape. Alexander Skarsgård embodies the enigmatic and deeply unsettling Randall Flagg, a figure whose charisma masks something far more sinister. This sprawling adaptation of Stephen King's epic novel wrestles with what people choose to become when the old world's rules no longer apply.
