Castle Rock: The Complete First Season coming to Blu-ray and DVD in September

Castle Rock, the psychological horror series from Stephen King (Mr. Mercedes, It, 11.22.63) and J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Westworld, 11.22.63), will be released on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download on 2nd September 2019.

Based on characters and settings created by King, Castle Rock was created by Sam Shaw (Manhattan, Masters of Sex) and Dustin Thomason (Manhattan, Lie to Me) who serve as executive producers along with J.J. Abrams, Stephen King, Ben Stephenson (Westworld), Mark Lafferty (Genius, Manhattan, White Collar) and Liz Glotzer (The Good Fight, The Shawshank Redemption).

The first season of Castle Rock follows Henry Deaver (AndrĆ© Holland, American Horror Story), a Death Row attorney who returns to Castle Rock, Maine, his hometown, after he receives an anonymous phone call from the infamous Shawshank State Penitentiary. The call is about a nameless young man (Bill SkarsgĆ„rd, It) who is found locked in an underground cage thatā€™s located in a long-abandoned cell block beneath the prison.

Upon his discovery, the mysterious young man, with a sinister and unnerving presence, whispers Henryā€™s name. Curious about how and why someone left this boy imprisoned, Henry is drawn into the case and attempts to help him. But there are reasons why ā€œThe Kidā€ was imprisoned. And reasons why he should never be set free.

Permeated with a sense of foreboding and dread, the haunting small town of Castle Rock is not willing to let Henry leave. Aside from now having to deal with the strange young man found in the prison, Henry is faced with the fact that his adoptive mother (Sissy Spacek, Carrie), who lives in Castle Rock with retired Sheriff Alan Pangborn (special guest star Scott Glenn), is struggling with the onset of dementia. Reluctantly, Henry stays to figure out just who ā€œThe Kidā€ is and how he wound up imprisoned under such appalling circumstances.

The series also stars Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men) as Molly Strand, Jane Levy (Suburgatory, Shameless) as Jackie Torrance and recurring guest star Terry Oā€™Quinn (Lost) as Shawshankā€™s Warden Dale Lacey.
