Thank you, TDZ brothers and sisters!

You have helped to make USA the No. 1 watched network in basic cable primetime in key demographics. The Dead Zone and its lead-in The 4400 continue to rank as basic's top two shows on Sunday! Thank you for watching -- every viewer out there is helping The Dead Zone get closer to a Season 6 pickup.

I hope you enjoyed our brainteaser episode "Symmetry." If you missed any part of it -- or just want to re-watch this amazing episode -- you can catch an encore presentation this week, or download it from iTunes anytime. It's one of those episodes where you will notice something new every time you view it.

Our next episode "Vortex" will air on August 6 and was written by supervising producer and veteran Dead Zone writer Michael Taylor. As usual, Taylor's script resonates with elements of recent history and culture, but with that special Dead Zone twist.

In "Vortex," Johnny and Bruce must defy FBI orders and infiltrate a cult in order to prevent a disaster of Waco-like proportions. Johnny goes head-to-head with the cult's charismatic leader -- known as The Prophet -- and makes a startling discovery.

During production, the cult compound location was so far from the nearest town that extra generators had to be brought in to sufficiently power our crew and equipment. Special kudos go to both our Visual and Practical Effects teams for their seamless work in creating the explosions you will see in the episode.

Don't forget to watch The Dead Zone on USA this Sunday, August 6 at 10/9C.
