- Synopsis
- Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital is the haunting new 15-hour drama series created directly for television by the award-winning, bestselling master of horror. Using Lars Von Trier's Danish miniseries Riget (a.k.a. The Kingdom) as a point of inspiration, King tells the terrifying story of The Kingdom, a hospital with a bizarre population that includes a nearly blind security guard, a nurse who regularly faints at the sight of blood and a paraplegic artist whose recovery is a step beyond miraculous. When patients and staff hear the tortured voice of a little girl crying through the halls, they are dismissive of any suggestion of mysticism or unseen powers … but at their own peril. The series stars Andrew McCarthy as Dr. Hook, Academy Award nominee Diane Ladd as Sally Druse, Academy Award nominee Bruce Davison as Dr. Stegman and Ed Begley, Jr. as Dr. Jesse James. Other cast members are Jack Coleman as Peter Rickman, William Wise as Dr. Louis Traff, Lena Georgas as Carrie Von Trier, Janet Wright as Liz Hinton, Meagan Fay as Brenda Abelson, Del Pentecost as Bobby Druse, Jamie Harrold as Elmer Traff, Brandon Bauer as Abel and Jennifer Cunningham as Christa. Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital, which is produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with Mark Carliner Productions and Touchstone Television, is executive-produced by Stephen King and Mark Carliner and directed by Craig Baxley.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A juicy, jauntily anarchic production."
-
"Unfortunately, this new ABC series muddies a solid human story with the usual, a whole lot of ominous words disappearing from walls and ghosts appearing in hallways"
-
"Its two-hour premiere is long on creepiness and somewhat short on plot development. But with the overemphasis of late on copycat reality, it's a welcome addition to primetime, indeed."
-
"It is meant to run for 13 episodes, just like an HBO series. It won't be back next season. You're meant to watch it now and admire its daring and imagination."
