Well this is a huge bummer. After just two seasons, we’ve learned tonight that Hulu has made the decision to cancel “Castle Rock,” a series based on Stephen King lore and locations.
The news comes courtesy of Deadline, with the site reporting that “there were no expectations for a third installment, and the decision to end the series after two seasons was made awhile ago. Once one of the first suppliers of Hulu after it branched out into premium original content, Warner Bros. TV has focused its attention to supplying recently launched sibling HBO Max.”
They add, “There are no plans for Castle Rock to continue on HBO Max, we hear.”
The series premiered back in 2018 with a debut season centered on Bill Skarsgård‘s “The Kid,” a mysterious inmate at Shawshank State Penitentiary. The superior second season of the series more directly played with Stephen King storylines and characters, telling the origin story of Misery villain Annie Wilkes. The character was masterfully played by Lizzy Caplan.
“Castle Rock” was developed by Sam Shaw & Dustin Thomason, and produced by J.J Abrams.
