The upcoming season will explore a feud between warring clans that comes to a boil when budding psychopath Annie Wilkes (played by Lizzy Caplan), King’s nurse from hell, gets waylaid in Castle Rock.
Hulu has released a new banner for the second season of their Stephen King series Castle Rock which shows off Lizzy Caplan’s Annie Wilkes wielding a rather large axe.
Castle Rock returns for season 2 on October 23.
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.
