The first episode
of The Dead Zone aired.
The Dead Zone, a.k.a. Stephen
King's Dead Zone (in USA) is an American/Canadian science
fiction drama television series starring Anthony Michael Hall as Johnny Smith, who discovers he has
developed psychic abilities
after a coma.
The show, credited as "based on characters" from Stephen
King's 1979 novel of the same name, first aired in 2002, and
was produced by Lionsgate Television and CBS Paramount Network Television (Paramount Network Television 2002-06) for
the USA
Network.
The show was originally commissioned for UPN, but the network
later dropped the show and it was picked up instead by USA. 03nmThe
series was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for
its first five seasons. The sixth and last season was billed as "The
season that changes everything" and production was moved to Montreal.
The Dead Zone was expected to be renewed for a seventh season;
however, due to low ratings and high production costs the series was canceled
in December 2007, without a proper series finale.
Some rumors spread that Syfy would pick up the series after it was canceled by USA,
but it did not happen. Rumors of a made-for-TV movie have all but faded with
time.
