“This is how I want my daughter to be.” “Castle Rock” (2018-2019) is a psychological horror anthology that weaves together the settings, characters, and themes of the Stephen King canon into a brand-new saga. Set in the cursed Maine town that gives the show its name, the series explores the “darkness and light” hidden within its woods. Season 1 follows a death row attorney (André Holland) investigating a mysterious, ageless prisoner (Bill Skarsgård) found in the depths of Shawshank Prison. Season 2 shifts gears into a psychological origin story for Annie Wilkes from Misery (Lizzy Caplan). It’s an atmospheric, slow-burning tribute to King’s legendary storytelling, exploring how a place can be haunted as much by its history as by its monsters.
