Ready to head back to Stephen King’s cursed town? You better be, because Castle Rock season 2 debuts next month. In this new season, “a feud between warring clans comes to a boil when budding psychopath Annie Wilkes (Lizzy Caplan), Stephen King’s nurse from hell, gets waylaid in Castle Rock.” Annie Wilkes was previously played by Kathy Bates in Misery – a role that won her an Oscar.
Other cast members include Yusra Warsama as Dr. Nadia Omar, “a Somali doctor employed as the Medical Director at the hospital in Jerusalem’s Lot.” Barkhad Abdi as Abdi Omar, “Nadia’s older brother who wants to strengthen Somali ties in their community.” And Matthew Alan as Chris Merrill, “Ace’s brother who finds himself stuck between the feud between the Merrills and the Somali community.”
I’m a big Stephen King nerd, and I mostly enjoyed the first season of Castle Rock. It had a lot going for it, but it didn’t quite stick the landing. I am excited that the show is taking an anthology approach, though, and telling a new King-inspired story every season.
Castle Rock season 2 debuts on Hulu October 23.
