"From the brilliant mind of Stephen King and the incredible production team at TWC-Dimension TV, 'The Mist' will take audiences on a thrilling ride through a small town grappling with a mysterious and shocking horror," said Levy.

"Christian and the entire team at TWC-Dimension TV have crafted the framework for a compelling and distinctive series that will resonate with Spike's expanding audience," said Levy.

"We've had an incredible experience developing the series with Christian, Sharon and her team and are eager to make this series a signature show for Spike."

Megan Spanjian, EVP of Scripted TV, was instrumental in finding and bringing Torpe to the table and will oversee the project for TWC-Dimension TV along with Matthew Signer, EVP of Production and Creative Affairs, and Keith Levine, SVP of Production and Development. Torpe is repped by ICM and Artists in Residence.
