Hulu has released a little teaser for the second season of Stephen King’s Castle Rock. There’s no footage featured in the teaser, it just announces that “Misery Arrives on October 23rd.”
I loved the first season of this show and I can’t wait for Season 2, especially with the addition of the classic Stephen King character Annie Wilkes from Misery.
