THE MIST Has Dissipated As Spike Cancels Series After One Season!
Cable network Spike announced today they have canceled THE MIST horror series after one season.
The series was based on the Stephen King novella, which also spawned a feature film.
The Mist, which marked Spike’s first original scripted series, was leftover from the old regime and programming strategy at the network, which will be rebranded as Paramount Network in January. Asked in March whether The Mist could continue on the Paramount Network, Kevin Kay, president of Spike/Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT, said, “in success, if this season on Spike goes well, we would pick it up for next year, and Season 2 will be on Paramount. We think it’s got a lot of potential.”
The Mist told the story of a foreboding mist that arrives in one small Maine town, ushering in a terrifying new reality for its residents and putting their humanity to the test. It focused on the question: What will people do to survive when blinded by fear? The cast included Morgan Spector, Frances Conroy, Alyssa Sutherland, Gus Birney, Dan Butler, Luke Cosgrove, Danica Curcic, Okezie Morro, Darren Pettie, Russell Posner and Isiah Whitlock Jr.
Well, I guess you win some, you lose some.
