TV show description:
Based on the Stephen King novella, The Mist TV show takes place in Bridgeville, Maine. After the Copeland family’s daughter is brutalized, an ominous mist has overwhelmed the town. In it are countless, confusing, concerning threats.
Kevin Copeland (Spector) is an enlightened, progressive, principled man. A dedicated husband and father, Kevin has never been one to feed on bitterness and bigotry. When the mist rolls into town, his moral compass strains, as he struggles for the survival of his family.
Kevin’s wife Eve (Sutherland) has a colorful past and a bit of a reputation. A teacher, Eve is also a passionate parent. She will do anything to protect her daughter, Alex (Birney) from the mist, and from the town’s animosity toward them.
For her part, Alex has always been a devoted, dutiful daughter. When Eve gets over-protective though, it triggers the girl’s rebellious streak.
Big man on campus, Jay Heisel (Cosgrove) is the son of the local sheriff. Although he and Alex had grown to be friends, he is accused of crimes against her. Meanwhile, his dad, Connor (Pettie), is trying to maintain law in order as Bridgeville spirals out of control, and he’s trying to figure out what’s really going on with his son.
Young and insecure, Adrian (Posner) is Alex’s best friend. After she is victimized, he springs to her defense. Because he witnessed the crime, he is drawn into the troubling scandal which would tear Bridgeville apart.
A drug addict on the run, resourceful Mia Lambert (Curcic) is on a quest for money, the truth, and her fading sense of self. Meanwhile, amnesiac Bryan Hunt (Morro) is a military man. As he uncovers clues to his identity, will he be happy with what he learns?
Gus (Whitlock) manages the local shopping mall. When the survivors there form a new society, he must decide if he will step up and lead them, and what he’s willing to do to keep things under control.
“Modern day ecological martyr” Nathalie Raven is something of a prophet. Although she is armed with more faith than facts, she does seem more in tune with the natural world, and her instincts about people are impressive.
A contemporary, tolerant priest, Father Romanov (Butler) stars to doubt his more flexible interpretation of scripture, once the mist rolls into town.
Family, friends, and even enemies will form unusual alliances, as they fight the enigmatic mist and the threats therein. Will they be able to remain moral and sane as society’s rules fall apart?
Series Finale:
Episode #10 — The Tenth Meal
Tensions at the mall finally come to a head, and the group makes a discovery which could provide answers about the origins of the mist.
First aired: August 24, 2017.
What do you think? Do you like The Mist TV series? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for season two on Spike?
I honestly don’t understand what these networks are thinking. Countless shows that people love ended up getting scrapped all because they aren’t at the top. Given how much people viewing habits have evolved from sitting in front on a tv, to streaming it while on the go. Evolve! There is a market for everyone! People may not have time to watch it at 7pm on Monday night but 3 months down the road will binge watch it and love it. I can’t even imagine how many shows we have all loved and then just up and lost because some executive… Read more »
Here we go again! Another great show and you take it off. It could not have been because of the ratings because too many people talked about it and loved the show. Maybe you should let another like Syfy or TNT pick it up and run with it. I swear I am starting to believe that you will introduce us to a great show and then yank it out from underneath to piss us off. I don’t have to watch the SPIKE channel or as it would be called now The Paramount channel. Just plain ridiculous! What age were your… Read more »
I watch the movie and I like the new approach the series took. Now I’ll agree it may have been difficult to keep the show going, but really the movie didn’t explain much… Just typical military playing with things they don’t understand. I think the show could have went deeper into what it was. Either made made or supernatural. As for the cast, most comment complain about lack of the cast being attractive or how their characters in general. But to me they did resemble normal everyday people. The show also had you unsure who you were really going to… Read more »
Another good show cancelled!! To bad, really enjoyed this first season
I just found it on Netflix now your taking it off! why do you always take the good ones off and leave the goofy ones on there. It’s great to see a good horror sometimes…..
This is disappointing as well. The one and ONLY show i watched on Spike. You should of renewed it Spike!
Please renew!! We loved this show! So intense!
ALL I Can day I’s wow I loved the mist finally some gore back on spike.U got us all wondering how they get killed by the The MIST or if they can survive the terror of themselves.Well I think u making a huge mistake I never write on anything but when I seen this being cancelled I was like go figure SPIKE TV. IT’S TIME FOR SOME NEW Horror on TV and I thought The MIST was great hope to see season 2.
This show was absolutely fantastic! I’ve watched a plethora of TV Shows and this was by far one of the most intriguing. The way the story line is set up, it just completely ingenious and this series would benefit greatly from a second season and I definitely think that it would be worthwhile for Spike to create another season.
I read you cancelled it! It should be renewed! You can’t leave us hanging like that–“They’re feeding them.”
It’s is suspenseful, I like. My loves Steven king and this is one of his best. You cheer and can’t wait for those who need to repent. New season, at least 3 seasons. Make it a Trilogy.
RENEW!!
I just finished watching this on Netflix also. I really liked it. I am a Stephen King fan and even though this show was different then the book. I liked what they had done with it. It really showed how individuals can go to extremes when put in unknown stressful situations. Turning on each other. Lying. Trusting people who they may not normal trust. It really is a shame that there isn’t going to be another season.
