The people in Stephen King's stories often feel real, relatable, and ultimately investable, and the people trapped in the supermarket in his 1980 novella, The Mist, are no exception. The novella was the basis for Frank Darabont's 2007 horror film and is now the springboard for a new series on Spike, and King's legacy and influence on the show are discussed in a new behind-the-scenes video.
The Mist premieres on Thursday, June 22nd at 10:00pm ET on Spike. Check out the new behind-the-scenes video below, stay tuned to Daily Dead for more details, and in case you missed it, check out another behind-the-scenes video, the new teaser trailer, the initial trailer and images, as well as highlights from the interview Lilja's Library conducted with Christian Torpe, the creator, executive producer, and showrunner of The Mist TV series.
"When the residents of Bridgeville, Maine find themselves engulfed by a foreboding mist containing a myriad of inexplicable and bizarre threats, their humanity is put to the test in THE MIST, a new 10 episode serialized drama premiering Thursday, June 22 at 10 PM, ET/PT on Spike.
Based on a story by Stephen King, THE MIST has been re-imagined for television by Executive Producer and Writer Christian Torpe and produced for Spike by TWC-Dimension Television. Spike’s THE MIST centers around a small town family that is torn apart by a brutal crime. As they deal with the fallout an eerie mist rolls in, suddenly cutting them off from the rest of the world, and in some cases, each other. Family, friends and adversaries become strange bedfellows, battling the mysterious mist and its threats, fighting to maintain morality and sanity as the rules of society break down."
