Even before rebranding as Paramount Network in 2018, Viacom’s Spike TV cable channel has once again begun to dip a toe into scripted programming. Is it putting its best foot forward with The Mist — based on the Stephen King’s sci-fi thriller of the same name? Will The Mist be cancelled or renewed for season two? Would a second season make sense? Stay tuned.
A Spike horror drama, The Mist TV show stars Morgan Spector, Alyssa Sutherland, Gus Birney, Danica Curcic, Okezie Morro, Luke Cosgrove, Darren Pettie, Russell Posner, Dan Butler, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and Frances Conroy. After the Copeland family’s daughter is brutalized, an ominous mist overwhelms the town of Bridgeville, Maine. In it are countless, confusing, concerning threats. Family, friends, and even enemies form unusual alliances, as they fight the enigmatic mist and the threats therein. Whether they will be able to remain moral and sane — as the fabric of society unravels — remains to be seen.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like The Mist TV series? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
9/28 update: The Mist is cancelled. There will be no season two of this Spike TV series. Details here.
Completely different from the source material (short story and movie) and that’s what makes it interesting.
I would love to see the series continue. There are so many creepy paths the story could take. I can see “The Mist” becoming Spike’s “The Walking Dead.”
Renew, if only to piss off the haters
We need season 2
Please renew it!!!!
My husband and I have been watching this show and it’s great!! We like the storyline so far and trying to figure out the who did it story. It’s a good apocalyptic type show with good fantasy and sci-fi.
Please renew it for a second season.
The show is amazing, I don’t understand why people hate it so much because it isn’t like the original movie. You really expect to have a show exactly like an older movie that was based off an older BOOK? You can’t just dis on the show just because of the movie. The characters fit their roles and the scenery is perfect; who cares if there wasn’t as many monsters like the book or movie. The show is as great as it is. If you think the characters were terrible, then would you wanna see Selena Gomez as some old mom?… Read more »
Show is terrible. I wanted so much to get into it. I think the worst part of it is the the political correctness. Christianity bad, nature religion good. Kid who bullies gay is actually gay himself, mom leads, dad is a wuss. Small town therefore everyone is a racist throws black guy in jail instantly. Etc.. Leave all that garbage out and just tell a story might have been better.
I thought so too, but if you keep watching . . . tbh, I’m kinda surprised at where it all has led.
!!!!!SPOILERS!!!!!
(Nature Religion Insane and murderous, Gay kid a sociopath (and bi), Mom is callous and stubborn to a dangerous point while Dad is nice but tough when necessary (He has really become the lead character in many ways), Oh, and Sympathies for a Guy actually falsely accused of Rape, that’s a shock to see)
Just cancel it. It is too slow.
The first 2 episodes seemed ok but the story goes nowhere , no doorway to a new dimension etc like the Original movie … Very disappointing and after seeing episode 8 pls pls cancel this, so much incredibly better shows are cancelled so stop giving this garbage air time !!!
The show has been great. If you are looking at the series from the movie standpoint then your looking for disappointment. However, if you take the series as is you will find a mixture of good vs evil religion vs nature and human nature at its best and worst and the demons people face from past secrets.
Yes, please!
Snooze fest. Did the creators of this even see the original movie? After a number of forgettable episodes the only so called creatures we’ve seen are toads, moths and leeches. Oh and a spooky mist man.
Then they tried to do a twist and make the nice gay boy into a psycho killer. Whatever. Stephen king has to be totally disappointed.
Cancel
Awful, just awful.
I believe it should keep going I found this movie on a streaming website which I was really happy about but I think it should keep going because it’s more detailed then the movie was making it more interesting and with shows your always going to get people that like shows and don’t I believe this show will be good just need to start making it more interesting for all viewers rather then people that are interested in this type of stuff also with new technology not everyone watches stuff on tv rather on websites
