Season two of Castle Rock is heading straight for Misery! Lizzy Kaplan will be bringing a creepy new take on Annie Wilkes, plus Tim Robbins is returning to the world of Stephen King for the first time since his iconic turn in Shawshank Redemption.
Lizzy Caplan will be introducing us to a younger Annie Wilkes, who is still connected to the world and trying to care for her daughter:
Lizzy Caplan says she loves Annie Wilkes. "I think she's a sweet baby." She adds that "Kathy Bates, no one can touch her." #CastleRock #NYCC

Tim Robbins, meanwhile, won’t be back as Andy DuFresne. This time he’ll be taking on the role of Pop Merrill, the owner of the The Emporium Galorium who was appeared in a story called Sun Dog and was referred to in Needful Things, and is the uncle of Ace Merrill, the guy who threatened the kids from Stand By Me with a switchblade.

…Is this gonna be Annie Wilkes vs. Salem’s Lot?
‘Cause I would dump pigs blood on a prom queen for Annie Wilkes vs. Salem’s Lot.
These writers are messing up King’s masterpiece by not telling Annie’s beginnings the true and fair way, per the clippings in Annie’s Memory Lane scrapbook. To start with, ANNIE NEVER HAD ANY KIDS….PERIOD!!!!! If she had, there would have been information about that in her scrapbook. A true and FAIR prequel would start from Annie’s birth per those newspaper clippings. Her whole life’s story is in there. Any deviation from that is cockadoodie and my Annie is not happy about that.
