Hulu has ordered a project titled Castle Rock, named after a fictional town featured in many of Stephen King's novels and short stories, beginning with The Dead Zone and including Cujo, The Body, Uncle Otto's Truck, Mrs. Todd's Shortcut, The Dark Half, The Sun Dog, Needful Things, It Grows on You and others.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the anthology "will weave together characters and themes from those novels that use the Castle Rock location. Each season will follow a different set of characters and storylines while interjecting themes and specific characters from previous seasons."
Sam Shaw (Manhattan) and Dusty Thomason "are also attached to the project, which hails from Abrams and his Warner Bros. Television-based Bad Robot banner," the Hollywood Reporter wrote, adding: "Castle Rock becomes the latest King-Abrams drama at Hulu following the miniseries 11.22.63."
