‘Castle Rock’ Unveils a Chilling New Official Trailer

Hulu delves into the twisted and terrifying world of Stephen King with the new horror series, Castle Rock. A lengthy official trailer’s just arrived which shows off new scenes with Bill Skarsgard’s mysterious character as well as more with André Holland as a lawyer who returns to his home town and becomes involved with Skarsgard’s unnamed character who was found in a hole in Shawshank Prison.

“I’d always thought the devil was just a metaphor. God help me, I did.”

In addition to Bill Skarsgard (It) and André Holland (Moonlight), the cast of season one includes Melanie Lynskey (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore), Sissy Spacek (the original Carrie), Jane Levy (Don’t Breathe), and Scott Glenn (The Leftovers, The Silence of the Lambs). The series was developed for television by Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason. Shaw and Thomason serve as executive producers along with J.J. Abrams, Stephen King, Mark Lafferty, Ben Stephenson, and Liz Glotzer.

Hulu’s Castle Rock comes from Bad Robot Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Hulu will debut the horror series on July 25, 2018.

The Plot: 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.
