NYCC 2019: Lizzy Caplan and Elsie Fisher talk about Castle Rock Season 2

A psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, CASTLE ROCK combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland.

The fictional Maine town of Castle Rock has figured prominently in King’s literary career: Cujo, The Dark Half, IT and Needful Things, as well as novella The Body and numerous short stories such as Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption are either set there or contain references to Castle Rock.

In Season 2, a feud between warring clans comes to a boil when budding psychopath Annie Wilkes (Lizzy Caplan), from Stephen King’s Misery, gets waylaid in Castle Rock.

Season 2 stars Lizzy Caplan, Elsie Fisher, Tim Robbins, Barkhad Abdi, Yusra Warsama, Paul Sparks, Matthew Alan, John Hoogenakker, Ruby Cruz, and Greg Grunberg.

I spoke with Lizzy Caplan and Elsie Fisher about the show at this year’s New York Comic Con. You can see the interview below.

CASTLE ROCK is an original suspense/thriller – a first-of-its-kind reimagining that explores the themes and worlds uniting the entire King canon, while brushing up against some of his most iconic and beloved stories.

Misery returns to Hulu on 23rd October 2019.
