Frances Conroy joining Spike’s series adaptation of Stephen King’s The Mist

Last Updated on July 31, 2021

Spike's series adaptation of Stephen King's THE MIST is starting to become populated, and Frances Conroy is the first to declare residency. 

The SIX FEET UNDER and AMERICAN HORROR STORY actress is coming aboard to play a modern-day ecological martyr name Nathalie. She has a deeper connection to nature than to her fellow man, but she apparently has pretty good instincts about humanity's behavior when it comes to their response to the encroaching mist. 

THE MIST, which will mark Spike's first scripted dramatic series in nine years, is set to head into production over the summer – so keep an eye out for more rapid fire casting – as a 2017 release is still the plan for the cable network.
