Hulu has renewed Castle Rock for a second season. 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,” said Hulu’s vice president and head of content, Craig Erwich. “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.”
The first season of Castle Rock premiered on July 25, dropping the first three episodes of the new psychological horror series set within the Stephen King universe.
Castle Rock is Hulu’s second series from the King universe. The partnership began with 11.22.63, based on the novel of the same name, which premiered in February 2016.
