Hulu, J.J. Abrams, and Stephen King's horror series CASTLE ROCK will feature TRUE BLOOD and CLOVERFIELD actress Lizzy Caplan as a young Annie Wilkes from King's classic MISERY. And today we have the first teaser trailer for the new season for you guys to check out.
This first teaser showcases Caplan's Annie Wilkes poppin' pills, getting haunted by wheelchairs, and killin' peeps in – of all places – Jerusalem's Lot! And, you know, I assume, Castle Rock. We also get quick glimpses of Tim Robbins to boot. Give it a look-see above!
The upcoming and highly-anticipated second season of CASTLE ROCK will bring us
A feud between warring clans that comes to a boil when budding psychopath Annie Wilkes (Caplan), Stephen King’s nurse from hell, gets waylaid in Castle Rock.
On top of Caplan as young Annie Wilkes, the season features Tim Robbins as Reginald “Pop” Merrill, Paul Sparks as John “Ace” Merril, Elsie Fisher as Annie’s home-schooled teenage daughter, Joy, Yusra Warsam is Dr. Nadia Omar, Barkhad Abdi will portray Abdi Omar, Matthew Alan plays Chris Merrill, and John Hoogenakker will play a man with a complicated connection to MISERY's Annie Wilkes. Robin Weigert as Annie’s mother, Crysilda Wilkes, Sarah Gadon will play Rita Green, a vengeful woman from Annie’s past, Alison Wright, will play a kind-hearted local who explores the town’s evil history, and Greg Grunberg is Sheriff Boucher, a local official, who faces off against a brewing, dark force in Castle Rock.
