New York, NY, June, 27, 2017 - Spike TV's first scripted dramatic series in over a decade, "The Mist," has gotten off to a promising start.

The solid numbers are encouraging as the network rebrands to Paramount Network in January with an emphasis on premium scripted programming.

Based on a story by Stephen King, Spike's THE MIST has been re-imagined for television by Executive Producer and Writer Christian Torpe and produced by TWC-Dimension Television. The story centers around a small town family that is torn apart by a brutal crime. As they deal with the fallout an eerie mist rolls in, suddenly cutting them off from the rest of the world, and in some cases, each other. Family, friends and adversaries become strange bedfellows, battling the mysterious mist and its threats, fighting to maintain morality and sanity as the rules of society break down.

Christian Torpe and Amanda Segel are Executive Producers of "The Mist."

Bob Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein and David Glasser are Executive Producers for TWC-Dimension Television with Megan Spanjian, Matthew Signer and Keith Levine as Producers.
