The residents of the town soon learn the situation is even more precarious as hidden within the mist are numerous monsters of various sizes that attack and kill anything that moves, trapping several groups of people in a shopping mall, a church, and a hospital.

Production Development Following the release of Frank Darabont 's film adaptation of The Mist in 2007, executive producers Bob Weinstein and Harvey Weinstein announced plans to develop a miniseries based on the film. In November 2013, Bob Weinstein announced that a 10 - part miniseries would begin production under their Dimension Television banner. It was unclear if film director Darabont would be involved in the series and the development remained stagnant for a period of time. In September 2015, nearly two years after the project was announced, Dimension Television announced they had signed screenwriter Christian Torpe to pen the entire series. In February 2016, Spike picked up the pilot. In April 2016, it was announced a deal had been reached with Spike to air the entire series. In July 2016, the production company announced the series had been cast and gone into production in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Financing The ten episodes of the first season were reportedly produced on a budget of approximately $ 23 million. The government of Nova Scotia announced in July 2016 that it would contribute $5.9 million for the series. The production marks the biggest entertainment production ever to shoot in the province. Casting In July 2016, Dimension Television announced Morgan Spector would play the lead character of Kevin Copeland. Other cast members announced included Frances Conroy, Alyssa Sutherland, Gus Birney, Dan Butler, Luke Cosgrove, Danica Curcic, Okezie Morro, Darren Pettie, Russell Posner and Isiah Whitlock, Jr. Reception After good ratings, made up of 1.2 million viewers, for the pilot episode, viewer numbers dropped off. It averaged a rating of 0.14 in adults aged 18 - 49, and 462,000 viewers per episode in Nielsen 's Live + Same Day ratings. The series was cancelled in September 2017. The first season of The Mist received mixed reviews. On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes the series has a rating of 62 % based on 39 reviews. On Metacritic, the series has a score of 54 out of 100, based on 25 critics, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Chris Scott of the Observer described it as `` relentlessly bleak, mean, and downright sadistic at nearly every turn '', linking this with the falling ratings over the series course. Indiewire reviewer Ben Travers described the plot as predictable and characters as `` pretty awful '', leaving viewers `` rooting for the mist instead of those running from it. ''. Ed Power of the Daily Telegraph felt that it was a middling effort for King 's works, and that it benefited from sticking to familiar horror themes and tropes.
