About Castle Rock

Castle Rock is a Hulu psychological-horror anthology created by Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason, produced by J.J. Abrams and Stephen King, that ran from 2018 to 2019. Set in the cursed Maine town that recurs throughout King's fiction, it weaves his characters, places, and mythology into original stories of dread — beginning with attorney Henry Deaver, drawn back to the town where he mysteriously vanished as a boy.

Atmospheric and slow-burning, the series is a love letter to the Stephen King universe, treating Castle Rock itself as a nexus of evil that warps the lives within it. Its first season's mystery — centered on an enigmatic caged prisoner — and its acclaimed dementia-themed standout episode showcased its ambitions.

Led by André Holland and a chilling Bill Skarsgård, Castle Rock is a moody addition to King's screen legacy.
