Looks Like Jerusalem’s Lot Will Be Prominently Featured in “Castle Rock” Season 2
The first season of Hulu’s “Castle Rock” made a very brief pit stop in the fictional town of Jerusalem’s Lot, a town 24 miles away from Castle Rock. Of course, Jerusalem’s Lot is the setting of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot, a small Maine town terrorized in the tale by vampire Kurt Barlow. And it looks like we’ll be seeing more of the town in the next season.
As reported by the Greenfield Recorder, filming is now underway on Season 2 of “Castle Rock,” which is once again turning the town of Orange, Massachusetts into the town that has appeared and been mentioned in several Stephen King stories. The site notes that the nearby town of Gardner has also been transformed for Season 2… into Jerusalem’s Lot!
The site adds, “According to Hulu spokeswoman Yasamin Azarakhsh, Season 2 involves a conflict between the neighboring towns.”
Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption) will be returning to the world of Stephen King in Season 2, alongside Lizzy Caplan (Cloverfield) and Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade).
Caplan is playing iconic Misery character Annie Wilkes!
Series regulars also include Yusra Warsama, Barkhad Abdi, Matthew Alan, John Hoogenakker and Paul Sparks.
In Season 2, a feud between warring clans comes to a boil when budding psychopath Annie Wilkes, Stephen King’s nurse from hell, gets waylaid in Castle Rock.
“Castle Rock” is produced by J.J. Abrams.
Sam Shaw & Dustin Thomason developed the series for Hulu.
Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
