Castle Rock (2018), Season 1 — Hulu's horror drama built from the mythology of Stephen King — ten episodes you can watch online on iFILM. The fictional town of Castle Rock, Maine, has always been bad at letting things go.
Death-row lawyer Henry Deaver (André Holland) comes back to his childhood home when Shawshank Prison reveals a young man (Bill Skarsgård) who has been locked in a sealed sub-basement for decades — no name, no record, no explanation. The Kid keeps repeating Henry's name. Chasing that thread pulls Henry into the fog surrounding his own childhood disappearance, while his aging mother Ruth (Sissy Spacek) slips between timelines and Molly Strand (Melanie Lynskey) carries a secret that cost her more than she has ever admitted.
Season 1 is slow-burn gothic, made for readers who want dread rather than gore. Created by J.J. Abrams and Sam Shaw, it threads references across King's entire Maine universe without adapting any single book. Stream Castle Rock Season 1 all episodes online on iFILM.
