He first keeps this to himself, but he later confesses it to her.

Plot

Main article: List of Haven episodes

Shrewd and confident FBI agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) has a lost past and an openness to the possibility of the paranormal. When she arrives in the small town of Haven, Maine, on a routine case, she soon finds herself caught up with the return of "The Troubles", a plague of supernatural afflictions that occurred in the town at least once before. If that was not enough to draw her in, she also finds a link that may lead her to the mother she has never known.

Development and production

In September 2009, E1 Entertainment announced it was working with Stephen King to develop a television series based on his novel The Colorado Kid. The entertainment company ordered the concept straight to series, with thirteen episodes planned.[5] In November, Syfy announced it had acquired the series.[6]

The pilot episode was written by Sam Ernst and Jim Dunn. In February 2010, Emily Rose was cast in the lead role of Audrey Parker.[7] Eric Balfour and Lucas Bryant came on board in late March.[8]

Canadian broadcaster Canwest Global Communications acquired rights to the series in March.[9]

In April 2010, Adam Kane signed on to direct the pilot.[10] Production began April 20 in Halifax, Nova Scotia and surrounding areas.[11] Filming occurred primarily in Chester, Nova Scotia and throughout the south shore of the Canadian province, including Lunenburg,[12] Halifax, and Mahone Bay.[citation needed]

The series premiere, "Welcome to Haven", aired on Syfy in the U.S. on July 9, 2010,[13] and on Showcase in Canada on July 12.[14] The show will be available to other international markets in October 2010.[2]

On October 7, 2010, Syfy announced that the series has been renewed for a second season of 13 episodes.[3]
