Rosandra (NeedfulThings):
Lloyd Segan Talks about Dead Zone
http://www.uemedia.com/CPC/article_7381.shtml
Like that of most television programs, the production process of "The Dead Zone" is a juggling act. On any given week, Segan and Piller will be looking at cuts, helping to cast an episode, looking at a story outline for another episode, reviewing scripts, and prepping an episode (while one is in production). Although Segan is based in Los Angeles, he often commutes back and forth to Vancouver, British Columbia, where the show is shot. He also has a major hand in the program's marketing -- working with his studio partners, Lions Gate Television and Paramount International Television; and the network to promote "The Dead Zone" domestically and internationally as well as on licensing arrangements for exploiting the "brand."
Production itself begins in the writers' room, where Piller and Segan generate story ideas. While "The Dead Zone" has an internal writing staff, it also hires freelance writers. Throughout a given season, Piller and Segan brainstorm ideas with their staff and listen to idea pitches from
freelancers.
After a story idea has been approved by the USA Network, as well as Lions Gate and Paramount, Piller sits down with the scriptwriter to "break the story" -- outlining the script in detail.
Once the episode is written and the script delivered, Piller disseminates it among his staff members and to Segan for review. He and the staff make notes and revisions, and once he does a final polish on it, he gives the script to production.
The physical production of "The Dead Zone" starts with a seven-day prep period. Shooting also takes about seven days. According to Segan, there is also an additional extra unit day to pick up any elements that may have been missed.
After shooting, the episode goes to post, where the directors and producers will make any changes or revisions. Once everyone, including Piller, Segan, USA, Lions Gate, and Paramount, agrees on a final version of the episode, it is considered "locked." The sound mixing is done on it and it is shipped.
Besides the behind-the-scenes above, the article also discusses the special effects on the show and the consideration of a switch from 35mm film to an HD format.
The Dead Zone's "Hunt for Osama"
"Michael Piller's latest web post is now on the official Dead Zone website. In it he talks about (among other things) the infamous unaired episode 'The Hunt' (previously The Hunt for Osama). You can also download Mike Taylor's teleplay for the episode."

Trek Today reports "TrekWeb reported six new episodes of Michael Piller's The Dead Zone will be broadcast in July and August."
"Of course, I had to go to the Trek Web and see what's going on. Here's what they said: Billed as a continuance of the show's second season, six all new episodes will debut in early July. They are tentatively scheduled for July 6, July 13, July 20, July 27, August 3 and August 10. An order for an
official third season of the Anthony Michael Hall vehicle has not yet been made."
"'Season two of THE DEAD ZONE continues as the hit series, based on the characters from the Stephen King novel, returns with six new episodes this summer,' a USA Network representative told TrekWeb, without further comment."
