While it is set for a 2018 release, Castle Rock has not made a lot of headlines beyond its trailer and the fact it has snatched up quite a few stars that have been featured in past Stephen King adaptations.
Considering it’s not an outright adaptation of one of his past works, it seems normal that King isn’t in on the ground floor on the concept and keeping up with its day to day development.
While it may be concerning to some that King told EW he’s “in the dark,” in terms of what’s happening with the series, others may be more comforted by the fact that the series is merely a new tale spun around the town frequently mentioned in his books.
