Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This was one of the first Stephen King adaptations developed specifically for television rather than film, paving the way for later series like Castle Rock.

Cultural

The show's 'preventing future crimes' premise directly influenced Minority Report's marketing, and Anthony Michael Hall's casting subverted his '80s nerd archetype entirely.
