What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the Spike cable channel, The Mist 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 the mist are countless, confusing, and 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.

Telly’s Take

It’s tough to use the ratings to predict if Spike will cancel or renew The Mist for season two because they don’t have other scripted shows. Spike is rebranding as Paramount Network in 2018. Also, its parent company — Viacom — has been shifting shows around from other channels like TV Land, to build up the Spike/Paramount scripted slate. Flying a bit blind, I expect The Mist will score a second season renewal. In April, Kevin Kay, President of Spike/Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT even said season two is possible. I will update this page with any new developments. Subscribe for free updates on any cancellation or renewal news about The Mist.

9/28 update: While possibilities may be endless, this show is not. The Mist is cancelled. There will be no season two of this Spike TV series. Details here. Now it is time for me to dash (and dine).
