Here’s an idea that’s been waiting to happen: since an awful lot of Stephen King’s books are either set in or namecheck the fictional town of Castle Rock, why not tie the entire King-verse into one horror series set in the town. And then populate it with characters from various King novels and get them interactin­g? Making things even more meta, the stars from two of King’s most celebrated screen hits – Sissy Spacek (Carrie in Carrie) and Bill Skarsgård (Pennywise in 2017’s

IT) – have major roles in the series. JJ Abrams is executive producer and Stephen King has happily let the show’s writers play in his sandpit for the 10-part series.
