USA Network Renews The Dead Zone

LOS
ANGELES, September 22: USA Network has picked up the sixth season of the drama The
Dead Zone, which will consist of
13 episodes.

The series, produced by
Lionsgate and CBS Paramount International Television in association with
Piller-Segan, will return to USA Network in summer 2007. Production of the
sixth season is scheduled to begin early next year.

“It's been a long, winding
and wonderful road on The Dead Zone. Our relationship with Lionsgate and the
show's producers has been everything a network could ask for,” said Jeff
Wachtel, USA’s executive VP of original programming. “We look forward to
continued success in the show's sixth season.”

“The Dead Zone is an important franchise for us and we’re delighted
about the pick-up,” said Kevin Beggs, Lionsgate’s president of television
programming and production. “We’ve enjoyed a great creative partnership with
Piller-Segan and tremendous support from the network, and are looking forward
to the start of an exciting new season.”

The Dead Zone premiered in June 2002 as the USA Network’s
highest-rated original dramatic series debut ever, earning a place as the top
basic cable original dramatic series of all time. It’s a psychological
thriller blending action, romance, the paranormal and a continuing quest for
justice.
