Still, it's clear Castle Rock's creators are intrigued by King's multiverse possibilities. We should go ahead and say it's highly unlikely that Castle Rock will ever actually bring the Gunslinger into its narrative, because Amazon Studios technically still holds the rights to The Dark Tower (though they recently abandoned their series plans). They're also quite enthralling, and may allude to the future inclusion of another of Stephen King's widely adored tales, The Dark Tower. That shocker came late in the show's debut season, when it was revealed that Skarsgård's deeply troubled (and likely supernaturally powered) Kid was not only from an alternate dimension, but was that dimension's version of Andre Holland's Henry Deaver. Of course, given the close proximity, the fact that Castle Rock has already spent time in the bordering town of Jerusalem's Lot, and the show's clear penchant for indulging in the connective tissue of King's works, it's possible Skarsgård is not-so-secretly (and quite ingeniously) reprising his most famous role in service of exploring It's origins. It should be noted, however, that Pennywise's "hometown" is not Castle Rock, but its neighboring town of Derry. In King-land, that force is an ancient being sometimes referred as the Higher Random, of which Pennywise is a physical manifestation. Skarsgård's enigmatic presence also left many pondering the possibility he might actually be playing Pennywise in Castle Rock, and might therefore be confirmed as the driving force behind all the evil events unfolding in and around the cursed town. It was all but impossible, then, for It fans to not lose their heads when Skarsgård turned up as "The Kid" in season 1 of Castle Rock. Though the origins of Skarsgård's character are explored later on, The Kid's surprising re-appearance in season 2 made his presence in Castle Rock all the more intriguing, even outright terrifying. While we wait to see if there's more ghoulish fun headed our way in Castle Rock, here's a look at a few things you might not know about the most Stephen King-centric confection ever produced. Assuming the show gets a third-season order from Hulu, there's little question that tactic will continue. And Hulu's Castle Rock has mined several of the scribe's more popular stories in constructing its two seasons so far. Yes, that means that some seriously creepy stuff has gone down in and round the sleepy little New England town, which obviously makes it the perfect setting for an anthology series inspired by King's works. That town will be more than a little bit familiar to King fans, as Castle Rock serves as the setting for many of his own macabre tales of terror, and is name-dropped in nearly 20 other works. Abrams and Stephen King himself, Castle Rock hit the streaming service in 2018 as an anthology series, set almost entirely within the fictional Maine town that gave it its name. One of the less talked-about adaptations arrived via Hulu a couple years ago in the guise of Castle Rock. Produced by J.J.
