Hulu’s senior vice president and head of content Craig Erwich tells
Variety when the series returns, it will be with a ‘wholly original’ story in its second season:
“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.”
