Stephen King’s MR. MERCEDES Is One of the Top Performers on Peacock
AT&T’s three-season adaptation of Stephen King’s novel(s) Mr. Mercedes moved over to NBCUniversal’s Peacock as an exclusive earlier this month. And today we hear the series is one of the streaming service’s top performers.
King shared the news himself, tweeting:
Mr. Mercedes stars Harry Treadaway, Brendan Gleeson, Kelly Lynch, Jharrel Jerome, Mary-Louise Parker, Holland Taylor, Justine Lupe, Breeda Wool, Scott Lawrence, Jack Huston, Tessa Ferrer, Maximiliano Hernandez, and Nancy Travis.
King confesses he’d love to see a fourth season one day, telling EW: “I would love to see that happen. I think the actors would like to see it happen because they got into those parts. Actors have a way of doing that. They have a way of settling in — like into a new house. And then after a while, they’re really good at what they’re doing and dig deeper into the character. So I’d love to see it, but the three seasons are there and they’re pretty darn good.”
The first season sports an 86% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: Mr. Mercedes propels its tense, creepy narrative with quick-witted dialogue, strong characters, and terrifying surprises.
The first two seasons hit Peacock back on October 15th. The third season will then premiere as a Peacock original series sometime in the future.
