News:

(5/12/06) - USA Network announced that The Dead Zone's fifth season will begin on June 18 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

(11/02/05) - According to the official Star Trek Web site, Michael Piller (co-creator of The Dead Zone, creator/co-executive producer of Wildfire, and veteran Star Trek writer/producer), died in the early morning hours of Nov. 1 after a long fight with an aggressive form of head and neck cancer. He was 57. Piller is survived by his wife, Sandra, and their children, Shawn and Brent.

In addition to the TV shows The Dead Zone and Wildfire, Piller wrote and/or produced episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager. Piller co-created Voyager with Rick Berman and Jeri Taylor. Piller also wrote the screenplay for the movie Star Trek: Insurrection. His work on Star Trek: The Next Generation includes scripting such acclaimed episodes as the "Best of Both Worlds" two-parter, "Ensign Ro" and "Unification, Part II." Piller co-wrote "Death Wish," a controversial Voyager episode, with his son, Shawn, who later joined with his father to form the production company Piller2 Inc. Piller even worked his love of baseball into the Deep Space Nine character of Sisko (Avery Brooks).

(7/22/05) - Jennifer Finnigan told SCI FI Wire that she will return as psychic Alex Sinclair in an upcoming "very special" Christmas episode of The Dead Zone.

"I did another episode recently," Finnegan said in an interview at CBS' fall press preview. "I did a very special Dead Zone Christmas. I was just there a couple of weeks ago. They wanted me to ... do more, and ... they said, 'Whenever you have a window of time to come and do a little stint with us, we'd love it.' And so I said, 'Absolutely.' I love them. And I had a blast with Michael Hall. And the character's so much fun."

"It's a sweet episode. ... It's kind of a chase episode. We're trying to figure out who did it. The fun thing is that Michael Hall's character and my character really work together, because we're both psychics in different ways."

(6/10/05) - USA will be airing, The Dead Zone: The Beginning this Sunday, June 12th at 12 pm EST. This is the first and second episode of the series merged together as a 2 hour movie. The fourth season premiere will air later in the evening at 10 pm EST.
