help Castle Rock FAQ

Does Castle Rock directly adapt a Stephen King novel?

No. The Hulu series tells original stories using locations, names, and ideas drawn from Stephen King's fictional universe, including Shawshank Prison and the town of Castle Rock.

Are the two seasons of Castle Rock connected?

Each season has a largely separate central story and cast, but both occupy the same version of Castle Rock and share pieces of mythology. Season 1 follows Henry Deaver and a mysterious Shawshank prisoner, while Season 2 centers on a younger Annie Wilkes.

Is Lizzy Caplan's Annie Wilkes the same character from Misery?

She is a younger interpretation of King's Annie Wilkes, the antagonist later portrayed by Kathy Bates in the 1990 film Misery. Castle Rock gives her an original prequel-like story rather than directly adapting the novel.

Was Castle Rock canceled after Season 2?

Yes. Hulu ended the series after two seasons, totaling 20 episodes released across 2018 and 2019, so there is no third-season continuation.
