Synopsis
Haven, starring Emily Rose, is based on the novella The Colorado Kid from renowned author Stephen King.
The series follows the shrewd and confident FBI agent Audrey Parker (Rose) who has a lost past, and arrives in the small town of Haven, Maine on a routine case.
Before long, her natural curiosity lands her in the epicenter of activity in this curious enclave, which turns out to be a longtime refuge for people that are affected by a range of supernatural afflictions.
As the townspeople's dormant abilities begin to express themselves, Audrey helps keep these forces at bay while discovering the many secrets of Haven — including one surrounding her own surprising connections to this extraordinary place.
The creative team behind Haven includes showrunner Scott Shepherd who is joined by E1 Entertainment's John Morayniss, Noreen Halpern, Laszlo Barna and Michael Rosenberg as well as his partners, Executive Producers Lloyd Segan and Shawn Piller.
The pilot was written by Sam Ernst and Jim Dunn who also serve as executive producers on the series.
