20 New TV Shows To Look Forward To In 2018

1. Castle Rock (Hulu) – TBA

While Castle Rock has yet to get a release date for Hulu, the highly anticipated series is expected to debut sometime in 2018.

A Stephen King anthology series about the fictional town that appeared in multiple works of the author’s. However, King isn’t the big name drawing a lot of buzz to this show, but critically acclaimed director J.J. Abrams. Billed as a creator and executive producer, Abrams will get the opportunity to dive into the horror genre that he rarely dabbles in but excels at when he does.

• The Santa Clauses season 2, episode 6 recap “Wanga Banga Langa!”
• Lawmen: Bass Reeves season 1, episode 7 preview: Non-spoiler thoughts for Part VII
• Goosebumps season 1, episode 6 recap: “Night of the Living Dummy”
• Beacon 23 season 1, episode 3 recap: “Why Can’t We Go on as Three?”
• Upload season 3, episode 2 recap: “Strawberry”

Fans of the genre will be excited because Hulu’s teaser trailer mentions It, Dolores Claiborne, Misery, Green Mile, The Shining, Salem’s Lot, and many more books by King. Since this will be an anthology series, it leaves plenty of room to explore a plethora of King’s works while giving its own spin to some of the classics.

The cast of Castle Rock is an ensemble of stand-out talent. Melanie Lynskey (Togetherness), Jane Levy (Suburgatory), Sissy Spacek (Bloodline), Andre Holland (The Knick), and Scott Glenn (The Leftovers) are the stars of this series. Lynskey is the poor town realtor who suffers from a rare medical condition and the inability to sell houses in a nightmare landscape.

Spacek plays the mother of Holland’s character who happens to be an attorney for people on death row. Finally, Levy will be the town historian who has an unusual obsession with death and macabre, making the position a perfect fit for her.

We’re excited to see where these new shows take us in 2018.
