M-Net (channel 101) will see the start of
the series Castle Rock tonight (May
16, 2020) at 22h00.
In the second season premiere, budding
psychopath Annie Wilkes (series star Lizzy Caplan), Stephen King's nurse from
hell, gets waylaid in Castle Rock, while a feud between warring clans comes to
a boil.
The Stephen King multiverse is the setting
for this psychological horror series that takes place in Castle Rock, Maine,
which is a location familiar to fans of King's work. Castle Rock explores themes and worlds that unite King's canon,
including the infamous Shawshank Prison.
An anonymous phone call lures death-row
attorney Henry Deaver back to Castle Rock. He is unsettled by his hometown, but
he returns to help a sinister, mostly mute man being kept in a cage underneath
Shawshank.
Sissy Spacek and Bill SkarsgÄrd, who
starred in feature adaptations of King's Carrie
and It, respectively, are among the show's stars.
