Every Stephen King Story Castle Rock Missed Out On
Stephen King's Castle Rock miniseries truly only references two major stories within the Stephen King Universe despite the fictional town being the setting for a bunch of his works; here's every Stephen King story Castle Rock missed out on. Series creators Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomasen made quite a big undertaking for themselves when they tried to showcase every Stephen King book based in Castle Rock, Maine. After all, there are around 15 Stephen King stories based in Castle Rock alone, with another 22 that reference the town. Shaw and Thomasen did their best to give a nod to many of King's books, including some of his more famous short stories and novellas. However, there were a lot of references that Castle Rock was missing.
Castle Rock season 1 mainly followed Henry Deaver (André Holland) and became a fan favorite after featured IT cast member Bill Skarsgård (who played Pennywise), was introduced as The Kid/The Angel at Shawshank Prison. Indie darling Melanie Lynskey also made an appearance as Molly Strand, the telepathic owner of M. Strand & Associates Real Estate. Finally, prolific actress Sissy Spacek returned to the Stephen King Universe, though not as her titular role of Carrie White from Carrie, but rather, as Ruth Deaver (Henry's estranged mother). Castle Rock season 2 took audiences by surprise when the story flipped to Annie Wilkes' (Lizzie Caplan) origins, and the series was then promptly canceled by Hulu.
