Hulu Renews CASTLE ROCK for Season Two

Hulu has renewed CASTLE ROCK for a second season. Hulu's senior vice president and head of content Craig Erwich tells Variety that the anthology drama will return with a "wholly original" story in its second year.

"It was a deeply original idea from two of the world's greatest storytellers, and it was centered around something that's been beloved and familiar to many of Stephen King's legion of fans, which is the town of Castle Rock. So expectations were high to begin with, but it exceeded them," he says. "The reaction from the variety of audiences has been overwhelming and it seems to be one of the most talked about shows of the summer."

A psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, CASTLE ROCK is an original story that 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.

CASTLE ROCK comes from executive producers and showrunners Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason. JJ Abrams, Mark Lafferty, Ben Stephenson, Liz Glotzer and King himself also serve as executive producers. Bad Robot Prods. in association with Warner Bros Television produces.

The first season of CASTLE ROCK stars Andre Holland, Sissy Spacek, Bill Skarsgard, Melanie Lynskey, Scott Glenn, Jane Levy and Terry O'Quinn.
