[UPDATE] Hulu today shared more details on Castle Rock. The streaming network has ordered 10 episodes for the first season. Production is slated to start this year.

　　The official synopsis has also been revealed:

　　"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 such as Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption are either set there or contain references to Castle Rock. Castle Rock is an original suspense/thriller--a first-of-its-kind reimagining that explores the themes and worlds uniting the entire King canon, while brushing up against some of his most iconic and beloved stories."

　　The original story is below.

　　The first teaser for the new Hulu series Castle Rock has arrived. The show, which is based on the works of writer Stephen King and produced by JJ Abrams and his Bad Robot studio, gets its name from the town Castle Rock that is referenced in a number of King's novels. The first teaser contains references to Shawshank Redemptioni, It, and Misery, among others.

　　"The anthology will weave together characters and themes from those novels that use the Castle Rock location," according to The Hollywood Reporter. "Each season will follow a different set of characters and storylines while interjecting themes and specific characters from previous seasons."

　　There is no word yet on how many episodes will be in the first season, when it will arrive, or who will star in it. This being a story from Stephen King, you can bet it's going to be scary.

　　JJAbrams and I want to invite you to take a trip to Castle Rock. Soon. Be afraid.https://t.co/n1MJWSpv8Z

　　In its own tweet, Bad Robot said about the upcoming Castle Rock show, "What is the hoax in the forest?"

　　This isn't the first time Abrams and King have teamed up for a Hulu series, as they worked together for 2016's JFK time-travelling drama 11.22.63.
