The Dead Zone was expected to be renewed for a seventh season but due to financial concerns and fear of low ratings on the part of the producers, the series was canceled on a major cliffhanger in December 2007 without a series finale. The sixth and last season was billed as "The season that changes everything" and production was moved to Montreal. The series was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada for its first five seasons. The show was originally commissioned for UPN, but the network dropped the show and it was picked up by USA. The show, credited as "based on characters" from Stephen King's 1979 novel of the same name, first aired in 2002, and was produced by Lionsgate Television and Paramount Network Television (later CBS Paramount Network Television) for the USA Network.
