Hulu have finally announced an air date for the Castle Rock TV series.
For those who have not been following the little information that has squeaked out of the production, Castle Rock is the town that many of Stephen King’s stories revolve around and the series was created by JJ Abrahams and Sam Shaw and will combine “the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of [Stephen] King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland” and will premier on the 25th July, 2018.
The latest trailer (first in the montage below) has us really excited for this… even if Stephen King himself has nothing to do with it (here).
A psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, Castle Rock combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland. The fictional Maine town of Castle Rock has figured prominently in King’s literary career: Cujo, The Dark Half, IT and Needful Things, as well as novella The Body and numerous short stories such as Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption are either set there or contain references to Castle Rock. Castle Rock is an original suspense/thriller — a first-of-its-kind reimagining that explores the themes and worlds uniting the entire King canon, while brushing up against some of his most iconic and beloved stories.
We can see from the trailers that the series will a lots of characters from Kings most famous works, personal highlihgts are the mentions of Annie Wilkes, Cujo, The Dark Half and seeing Sissy Spacek and Bill Skarsgard
