Stephen King Offers Unsafe 'Haven'
The Maestro of the Macabre, the Sultan of Spooky, the Earl of Eerie, the King of Creepy (hey, I could do this all day) will again be coming to a TV set near you. The SyFy Channel just picked up thirteen (an appropriate number) episodes of Haven, a TV adaptation of Stephen King's novella The Colorado Kid.
Accoring to Variety.com, Haven will be "the first project to be produced for Syfy outlets around the globe (except Canada and Scandinavia)."
The series centers on "a spooky town in Maine where cursed folk live normal lives in exile. When those curses start returning, FBI agent Audrey Parker is brought in to keep those supernatural forces at bay -- while trying to unravel the mysteries of Haven."
Scott Shepherd will be the showrunner and executive produce with Lloyd Segan and Shawn Piller. The trio are no strangers to King TV -- they were all executive producers on The Dead Zone, which ended its six-season run last year. Writing partners Sam Ernst and Jim Dunn (who scripted a couple of Dead Zone episodes) are scripting the pilot and will also serve as executive producers.
