TV series based on Stephen King’s The Mist adds Alyssa Sutherland

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

The Spike/Dimension Television series adaptation of the Stephen King novella The Mist is set to begin filming this summer, possibly at an abandoned Target store in Nova Scotia. As the production start date looms, a new cast member has signed on to the project, joining the previously announced Frances Conroy.

Australian model/actress Alyssa Sutherland, best known for her role as Aslaug on the History Channel series Vikings, is entering The Mist to play Eve Cunningham, "a wife and mother who fights to protect her teenage daughter from unknown dangers lurking both inside and outside the mist while facing down her past."

I wonder if Eve Cunningham is related to a guy named Arnie who drives around in a red 1958 Plymouth Fury?

Developed by Christian Torpe, The Mist will tell 

the harrowing story about a seemingly innocuous mist that seeps into a small town and creates immense havoc.

King's story was turned into a film written and directed by Frank Darabont in 2007. The TV series version of the story is set to premiere on Spike sometime in 2017, giving us a good ten years between Mists. The first season of the series will run for ten episodes.
