The two seasons of the anthology series Castle Rock stand out in the pantheon of Stephen King adaptations. That's because there is no book with the same title as that of the acclaimed Hulu anthology series. Instead, the name is revealed to be the name of a fictional town in Maine in several Stephen King novels like IT, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, and The Stand.As IT: Welcome to Derry, an expansion of King's IT, concluded its eight-episode run this week, news dropped about the acclaimed two-season anthology series, which were released in 2018 and 2019, respectively. It was announced that the acclaimed series is available on Netflix.Castle Rock streaming details View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe anthology series, as mentioned earlier, is available to stream on Netflix. The anthology series dropped on the streaming giant this week. Until then, both seasons were available on Hulu. However, Warner Bros. Television is one of the production companies involved in the making of the anthology series.Therefore, it's not surprising that Netflix, which is set to be the new owner of WB, regained the rights to one of the latter's acclaimed projects.

Discovery, Inc. (WBD) announced they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Netflix will acquire Warner Bros., including its film and television studios, HBO Max and HBO."In another part of the statement reads:"This acquisition brings together two pioneering entertainment businesses, combining Netflix’s innovation, global reach and best-in-class streaming service with Warner Bros.’ century-long legacy of world-class storytelling. Beloved franchises, shows and movies such as The Big Bang Theory, The Sopranos, Game of Thrones, The Wizard of Oz and the DC Universe will join Netflix’s extensive portfolio including Wednesday, Money Heist, Bridgerton, Adolescence and Extraction, creating an extraordinary entertainment offering for audiences worldwide."What is the anthology series about? View this post on Instagram Instagram PostTwo seasons have two separate plotlines. The first season follows Henry Deaver, a lawyer who returns to the titular town, where he was raised, to solve the mystery of the mysterious prisoner who whispers only his name. Meanwhile, the second season features the younger version of Annie Wilkes, the main antagonist of Stephen King's Misery."A psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, Castle Rock combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland. 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 (Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption) are set in there. Castle Rock is an original suspense/thriller — a first-of-its-kind reimagining that unites King’s themes and worlds and brings together the author’s most iconic and beloved characters. In Season 2, a feud between warring clans comes to a boil when budding psychopath Annie Wilkes, Stephen King’s nurse from hell, gets waylaid in Castle Rock."Catch the horror anthology series on Netflix.
