To round out more King connections Sissy Spacek (Carrie) and Bill Skarsgård (It) also star in the series but not as their original King characters.CASTLE ROCK is a Hulu original suspense thriller that offers a first-of-its-kind re-imagining exploring the themes and worlds uniting the entire King canon, while brushing up against some of his most iconic and beloved stories.

 

As we wait for things to unravel one story at a time you can hear a fitting quote to sum up the Maine woodland madness known as CASTLE ROCK

“People say, ‘it wasn’t me, it was this place’ and the thing is…they were right.”
