"It's pretty." "Not if you look closely." As it rolls into town, the mist looks to seep into the psyches of those unfortunate enough to be caught in its tendrils, and a new trailer for Spike's TV series adaptation of the seminal Stephen King novella highlights the unsettling effects—paranoia and panic included—of getting trapped by the titular force.
The Mist premieres on Thursday, June 22nd at 10:00pm ET on Spike:
"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."
