New 'Castle Rock' Episode Cements Series as Best Show You're Not Watching
"Castle Rock" has made its way to Hulu. And “The Box” is the episode that shows exactly what Stephen King is capable of. Plus, it’s proof that you don’t even need to be a King fan to love the show. And here's why.
And the show certainly pays a bit of service to fans of King’s work.

Easter eggs abound on Castle Rock. In fact, the show’s opening title sequence is littered with newspaper headlines outlining stories from King’s other novels. And real King fans will take note of one-liners that reference films like Stand By Me or Pet Sematary.
And it’s the second collaboration between Hulu, King, and J.J. Abrams.

The first was 11.22.63, a sci-fi thriller about the JFK assassination and the consequences of time travel. No Emmys, but the miniseries did take home a Saturn Award for Best Television Presentation and currently holds an 80% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
