“The impulse was to try to write a show that can be fun and pleasurable for somebody who has no experience reading Stephen King but also to satiate people who want to nerd out,” co-showrunner Sam Shaw told THR. “There’s definitely some Ph.D.-level deep-cut [references].”
“We’ve seen things that are so packed full with Easter eggs that it becomes kind of dizzying,” Co-showrunner Dustin Thomason adds. “It was important to us [that the references] all had meaning.”
