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 just finished watching this on Netflix, and while I was looking forward to a show about monsters, I really like that they decided to focus more on the residents and their (in)ability to cope with the unknown. The first few episodes were a bit slow, and I can see where this might’ve caused a loss in viewers, but it really picked up during episode 6. I’m glad that the finale wasn’t much of a cliffhanger and the season can be seen as a one-off, seeing that the show’s been cancelled. I’d still love to see what direction another season… Read more »
The show needs to have a season 2, its really interesting and i want to see what happens after season 2.
I just started watching it on Netflix. There’s few people who doesn’t really know how to act. The girl who play Alex, Adrian, the priest etc. The show is too slow moving.
Please bring The Mist back. We have enough stupid comedies realty shows. The Mist is a fantastic show. Come on Spike, how about it?
Go figure another great tv show cancelled..who cares what millions like it wasn’t a million and 1 so it’s over with let’s keep these stupid shows going or let’s start a bunch of remake shows from the 70s n 80s that should have been cancelled back then ..im so done waiting for the next season to come on for all the good NEW shows cus if it’s not stupid, pointless there won’t be a next season
well we all have different opinions, yours doesnt cope well with others, and I would like to say that we are remaking these movies because with the new technology we have today, has made some things greater, maybe thats why your opinion is not agreed upon some others.
It’s not nice to Fool Mother Nature.
I think it was canceled because it veered way too far from the movie, which I enjoyed even though the ending was very disturbing, effective, but disturbing. Whereas the movie was pure sci-fi & horror with some truly scary creatures, the series went off base with the whole gay campaign thingy and only sporadic peeks at the way too human-like creatures.
RENEWED, of course.
We have just finished series 1 BRING IT BACK NOW
I love that the show is different than the movie because I don’t know what will happen next. There have been a lot of things that have happened that I didn’t see coming and I love that too. I don’t know why the mist is there or what is going on in it. I hope it’s renewed because I need to find out!
1 of those shows where you wish the people in T.V. could hear you. I want to warn them and tell them whats really going on. Cant get enough of it. I record it and then wait to watch it because I dont want it to end.
Cant wait for new season, read book long time ago and thought it would be a mini series of it but not the case. It,s a great show none the less, wish there were more episodes this season.
The Mist was awesome. I loved it. The mystery of the mist makes me want to see Season 2. Will be watching
I loved it. The mystery makes me want to see more. I think that the actors are great. I hope that there is a season 2 soon. Will be watching.
I can’t believe let end show it just started on tv need more seasons. When are they going to announce it.
