Fans of the horror anthology show Castle Rock will have to look for another show to get their scares as streaming service Hulu has just announced that they would not be renewing the show for a third season.

Variety reports that the show based on the stories of Stephen King would not be returning for a third season. The announcement comes more than a year after Hulu first released the show’s second season, which was based on Stephen King’s Misery.

The show’s second season featured actors Lizzy Caplan, Matthew Alan, Tim Robbins, Barkhad Abdi, and Yusra Warsama. Actors featured in the show’s first season based on Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption include Andre Holland, Terry O’Quinn, Sissy Spacek, Jane Levy, Bill Skarsgard, Jane Levy, Melanie Lynskey, and Scott Glenn.

Castle Rock’s cancellation makes it yet another supernatural show to get cut from the television lineup this year. Back in July, Netflix announced that The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina would be canceled.

Before its cancellation, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina was able to air three seasons. Showrunner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said he was proud of the show on his Twitter account and also expressed his gratitude to Netflix in the statement announcing the cancellation.

Initially intended to be aired on the CW, where its sister show Riverdale airs, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina ended up on streaming giant Netflix instead. In total, the show was able to air 36 episodes -- 11 from the first season, nine from the second season, and eight episodes each for the final two seasons.

With Castle Rock gone from its lineup, Yahoo Entertainment says Hulu still has a number of shows to offer its subscribers. New seasons of shows like The Handmaid’s Tale, Love, Victor, Ramy, The Great, The Orville, and PEN15 are in store for subscribers. The streaming service also recently premiered Helstrom, Maxxx, and Woke.

Other shows that the streaming service is set to premiere include Rodham, a rebooted Animaniacs, Dopesick, Only Murders in the Building, Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Girl From Plainville.

A strong show lineup is certainly an advantage for streaming services, especially since they have become the preferred entertainment medium for people forced to stay at home because of the global coronavirus pandemic. 

It also does not look like the global coronavirus pandemic is going to end anytime soon, making it even more important for streaming services to have strong lineups. According to the World Health Organization’s update for Nov. 3, there are now 46,840,783 confirmed COVID-19 cases around the world. The number of people that have died from COVID-19 globally is now at 1,204,028 people.
