TVLine Items: Castle Rock Taps AHS Vet, Netflix's Gypsy Teaser and More

American Horror Story: Roanoke alum André Holland is no scaredy-cat.

The actor has nabbed the lead role in another fright-filled show: Hulu’s upcoming psychological horror drama series Castle Rock, from executive producer J.J. Abrams and author Stephen King, our sister site Deadline reports.

Set in King’s multiverse, the show weaves together an epic saga of darkness and light, played out in the woodland town of Castle Rock, Maine, which is often featured in King’s works. Holland will play Henry, a death-row attorney with a unique and complicated history in the hamlet.

Holland’s other TV credits include The Knick, 1600 Penn and Friends With Benefits. He most recently co-starred in the Oscar-winning film Moonlight.
