As per Lilja via Bev:

According to Variety, E1 Entertainment has committed to 13 hour-long episodes adapting Stephen King’s novella The Colorado Kid into a television series called Haven.

Scott Shepherd will serve as showrunner and exec produce with Lloyd Segan and Shawn Piller, all three of whom were exec producers on USA Network's version of The Dead Zone.

Two more Dead Zone alumni, Sam Ernst and Jim Dunn, are writing the pilot and will also serve as exec producers.

The report describes the project as, “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.”

E1 is in advanced talks with several European broadcast partners to sign on and help finance the show. After securing an international partner, the company will turn its attention to finding U.S. and Canadian broadcasters.

That doesn't sound at all like Colorado Kid. It sounds like they're using the King name and title for something completely different. Also, the town of Haven is the same named town that most of The Tommyknockers takes place.

I wonder if the mystery of the Colorado Kid will be the first episode, and they'll go on with it from there. The Pillars did quite a good job of taking the DZ concept and running with it for five or six years.

Well...it might not sound very faithfull, but that team made an incredible job with The Dead Zone series (Sadly it was cancelled and no ending given so far), so I'm looking forward to hear more about this :)

I haven't found topic about it so here it is :)



Studio E1 Entertainment is gonna make a tv series based on 'Colorado Kid' titled 'Haven'. There will be 13 one hour episodes.

'Haven' will be about small hunted town in Maine, where doomed people try to live normally. When the curses start to come back an FBI agent Audrey Parker comes to town to discover Havens misteries.

It's gonna be for fans of Stephen King, The X Files and Lost.

Maybe it's been too long since I read Colorado Kid, but this 'Haven' sounds nothing like it. I may just be crazy. I don't know. :lol:

it will be like 'Dead Zone' tv series, so all the episodes will be something totally new and 'Colorado Kid' possibly will be as a background and maybe even in the first episode only.

I'm trusting in this project. I loved The Dead Zone series, so the creative team behind must have a good idea in their hands.
