Reply to comment by bowromir in If You Could Apply Rings of Power Budget to Any IP Adaptation, What Would You Choose? by Any-Low9727
Anyone who thinks the series should start with content from the fourth book is someone I don’t think should be trusted to make the series. Susan is supposed to be this mysterious figure for half the story, we’re not supposed to meet Cuthbert and Alain until after we know Eddie and Susannah so that we can appreciate how his new Ka-Tet echoes his old one. But everyone who adapts it insists for some reason to start with these characters and ruin all of that.

You should listen to the "Kingcast" podcast where he goes into detail about the pilot and long term plan He spent 3 years on mapping everything out and he did an excellent job laying out his vision and the decisions he made. Including exactly why he chose to start at that point. Really worth a listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dark-tower-with-glen-mazzara/id1512844649?i=1000475938916
