Hulu Has Not Yet Made Any Decisions About the Future of “Castle Rock”
You may recall that Hulu had renewed the Stephen King-based “Castle Rock” for a second season before the first season even wrapped up, so you may be a little concerned (as I have been) that a third season still hasn’t been ordered up despite the second season coming to a close over a month ago. So what’s going on there? And will we be getting a third season?
Hulu’s Craig Erwich, speaking today during Hulu’s presentation as part of the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour, has revealed that no decision has been made.
“We have not made any further decisions on Castle Rock, people are still continuing to discover it. I thought Lizzy Caplan was revelatory in her portrayal of Annie Wilkes, it was a whole new take on the character and it was very brave of her given what Kathy Bates has done [in Misery],” Erwich announced today, those quotes coming courtesy of Deadline.
As always, the future of “Castle Rock” is entirely dependent on how many people watched the latest season. Here’s hoping we have some good news to report real soon.

Ralph Ineson and Corey Stoll Join ‘Monarch: Legacy of Monsters’ Spinoff Series Starring Wyatt Russell
The small screen MonsterVerse is expanding with a “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters” spinoff series centered on Lee Shaw (Wyatt Russell), and Deadline brings us the latest casting news.
Corey Stoll (Imperfect Women, Billions), Ralph Ineson (The Witch, The Fantastic Four: First Steps), and Nyasha Hatendi (Agatha Christie’s The Seven Dials, Casual) have signed on.
Pilou Asbæk (Salem’s Lot) and Millie Brady (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) also star.
Originally announced back in December, “Obi-Wan Kenobi” showrunner and “Monarch” executive producer Joby Harold will serve as showrunner on the untitled spinoff series.
The series will follow Colonel Lee Shaw, an American operative who in 1984 went on a secret mission behind enemy lines in an attempt to stop the Soviets from unleashing a horrific new Titan big enough to destroy the U.S. and turn the tide of the Cold War.
Wyatt Russell told Collider earlier this year, “you’ve got absolutely no fucking clue what to expect. I think people are going to expect one thing and be like, ‘Holy shit, this is not what I expected.’ It’ll go deeper into Lee’s experience after he came up, and being sort of put on ice, in 1982, and then what happens after that, and why he’s needed and the mission he goes on.”
