Hulu brought the acclaimed Stephen King drama The Life of Chuck to its streaming lineup on the morning of December 26th. From The Haunting of Hill House and Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan, The Life of Chuck tells the story of a single man in reverse order, beginning with his death (and the subsequent death of the universe).
The film boasts an all-star ensemble led by Tom Hiddleston, who plays the adult version of the titular Chuck. The cast also includes Jacob Tremblay, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Mark Hamill, Mia Sara, Nick Offerman, Carl Lumbly, Kate Siegel, Matthew Millard, Rahul Kohli, Heather Lagenkamp, David Dastmalchian, and several other familiar faces.
If you see the name “Stephen King” and expect something like The Shining or Salem’s Lot, that’s not what you’re getting with The Life of Chuck. This is more similar to stories like The Shawshank Redemption or The Green Mile, though maybe a little more family oriented than those (still rated R, however).
Coming Soon to Hulu
The Life of Chuck arrived on Hulu on the morning of December 25th, marking one of the last big additions for the streaming service this year. In a few days, on December 31st, the service will bring the Alison Brie and Dave Franco horror film Together to the world of streaming.
