            J.J. Abrams and Stephen King is a dream pairing and with them working on a new series for Hulu titled, Castle Rock, it makes it one of the most anticipated series currently gearing up for production. They continue to bolster the cast as The Tracking Board reports that Melanie Lynskey has joined Andre Holland, Sissy Spacek and Jane Levy for the drama.

            The show is based in a fictional town in the state of Maine. We’re told it has plenty of mythological elements but it’s also character driven so an actress of Lynskey’s talents will really benefit this series. Lynskey will play Molly Strand, a woman with a rare medical condition who’s a real estate agent and every third property is the site of someone’s worst nightmare. It certainly sounds like a unique character and one that I think Lynskey could have a field day with.

            Lynskey previously had a role on Two and Half Men on CBS, as well as starred in Togetherness on HBO with Mark Duplass. She also starred in in Netflix movie, I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore earlier this year.
