Hulu's new horror series, "Castle Rock," was just renewed for a second season.

It's the closest Hulu has gotten to its own "Stranger Things," as it is heavily inspired by the work of Stephen King and relies on a sense of nostalgia akin to the Netflix hit.

The show has an impressive cast that includes Andre Holland, Scott Glenn, Sissy Spacek, and Terry O'Quinn.
