King Won’t Pen Any “Castle Rock” Episodes
We’re in the midst of a Stephen King craze at the moment between “Mr. Mercedes” on the air, “The Dark Tower” in cinemas,” “IT” opening in a few weeks and more adaptations on the way.
One of the most intriguing of the projects is Hulu’s “Castle Rock,” a TV series that will blend the mythology of all the famed author’s works into an original narrative.
J.J. Abrams is producing the series, and there’s been question as to whether King will contribute a script. He tells USA Today:
“I don’t have any plans to write for it but I’m in contact with (executive producer) J.J. Abrams. We’ve talked about a couple of interesting ideas, and I know at least one of the stories that has a Castle Rock background will figure in the TV series. It’s a little like sending your kids off to college: Here’s what I’ve got for you, I’ve raised you right, hopefully, you’ll go off and you won’t get into trouble. Sometimes they do anyway.”
Melanie Lynskey, Andre Holland, Jane Levy, Bill Skarsgard, Sissy Spacek, and Frank Ridley star in the series which is expected to debut sometime in 2018.

The first season premiered on July 25th and within its first day of launch, the streamer reports, the show became the most successful first season Hulu Original when “considering consumption and reach”.

“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. 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… By all measures, audience, critical, and social response the show has been one of the breakout hits of the summer in television.”
Andre Holland, Sissy Spacek, Bill Skarsgard, Melanie Lynskey, Scott Glenn, Jane Levy and Terry O’Quinn star in the series with the first season’s ten episode run to cap off with the finale to air September 12th.
