Hulu has released a teaser trailer for their upcoming original series Castle Rock, which is set in the Stephen King multiverse and executive produced by J.J. Abrams.

Watch the teaser, which premiered this weekend at New York Comic-Con, here below.

The series is described as a psychological-horror set in woodlands of Maine that will reimagine elements from the world of King’s novels and tie them together. Fans of the author will recognize the name Castle Rock, as it is the fictional Maine town where many of King’s stories have taken place, including It and Cujo.

It was developed for television by Sam Shaw & Dustin Thomason, who serve as executive producers along with J.J. Abrams, Ben Stephenson, and Liz Glotzer.

For some of the cast, this is a return to the world of Stephen King. SkarsgÃ¥rd starred in this year’s big-screen adaptation of It as Pennywise the Clown, but this time around, we’ll get to see his real face without all the terrifying make-up, while Spacek made a splash as the title character of the 1976 adaptation of Carrie.
