Deadline is reporting that Michael Uppendahl (American Horror Story, Mad Men) is set to direct the pilot for Hulu and Bad Robot’s Stephen King anthology series Castle Rock.
Set in King’s fictional town, the psychological horror series “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.”
So far, the cast of Castle Rock includes Melanie Lynskey (Togetherness), Andre Holland (Moonlight), Jane Levy (Don’t Breathe), Sissy Spacek (Carrie) and Bill Skarsgard (It).
Castle Rock has been developed by Sam Shaw (Manhattan) and Dustin Thomason (Lie to Me) and is slated to begin production in August.
