Lizzy Caplan will play a young Annie Wilkes in the second season of “Castle Rock”.
The “True Blood” and “Masters of Sex” alumna inherits the role from Kathy Bates, who played the obsessive fan in the 1990 film “Misery”.
The next batch of eps of the Hulu drama, based on the stories of Stephen King, fixes on Nurse Wilkes’ stopover – with teenage daughter (Elsie Fisher) in tow – in the town.
The character gets caught up in a battle between two warring clans, the iconic Merrill crime family and John “Ace” Merrill (Garrett Hedlund), who is defending nearby Jerualem’s Lot. Tim Robbins, who starred in the King adaptation of “The Shawshank Redemption”, will play ‘Pop’ Merrill.
Robbins’ character, Reginald “Pop” Merrill, is the Patriarch of King’s iconic crime family.
