Nicole deBoer, series co-star of USA Networks' THE DEAD ZONE, is talking about the show's season one finale, as well as the course of things to come in season two. And yes, the show's been picked-up for a second year, something you'd know if you'd been reading us weeks ago.
Anyway, deBoer said the this season's finale will crib elements from the original book by Stephen King, and will continue them as a major plot thread throughout the next year.
"They introduce the character of Greg Stillson in the last episode of the first season," she said in a recent interview. "He's the politician who ends up being the evil guy in the book, who's basically Johnny's nemesis, and they met back when they were children. Sean Patrick Flanery plays him, and he's really, really good. So they're just starting to introduce that now."
The new season begins in early 2003.
