With a promise of “unforgettable scares and evil at every turn,” Freeform’s “Dead of Summer” should tell us if the network has truly shed its former ABC Family tag and embraced the dark side. For a sneak peek of this latest summer camp-based slasher to come our way, here are several stills and new promos along with the official synopsis of its premiere, Episode 1.01, “Patience.”
Seven camp counselors plan for the best summer of their lives, but the evil lurking at Camp Stillwater has other plans in store for them in the series debut of “Dead of Summer,” airing Tuesday, June 28 (9-10 p.m. ET), on Freeform.
Set in the late 1980s, school is out for the summer, and a sun-drenched season of firsts beckons the counselors at Camp Stillwater, a seemingly idyllic Midwestern summer camp, including first loves, first kisses—and first kills. Stillwater’s dark, ancient mythology awakens, and what was supposed to be a summer of fun soon turns into one of unforgettable scares and evil at every turn.
The series stars Elizabeth Mitchell (“Lost,” The Purge: Election Year) as Deborah “Deb” Carpenter, Elizabeth Lail (“Once Upon a Time”) as Amy Hughes, Zelda Williams (“Teen Wolf”) as Drew Reeves, Mark Indelicato (“Ugly Betty”) as Blair Ramos, Alberto Frezza (“Charlie’s Angels”) as Deputy Garrett Sykes, Eli Goree (“The 100”) as Joel Goodson, Ronen Rubinstein (“Orange Is the New Black”) as Alex Powell, Amber Coney (“Class”) as Carolina “Cricket” Diaz, and Paulina Singer (“Gotham”) as Jessie Tyler.
“Dead of Summer” is produced by ABC Signature Studios and Kitsis/Horowitz. Adam Horowitz, Edward Kitsis (“Once Upon a Time,” “Lost”), and Ian Goldberg (“Once Upon a Time,” “Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior”) write and executive produce the series. Steve Pearlman (“Once Upon a Time”) serves as executive producer. “Patience” is written by Edward Kitsis & Adam Horowitz & Ian Goldberg and directed by Adam Horowitz.
“Dead of Summer” Series Premiere – Episode 1.01 – “Patience”
Camp Stillwater is about to reopen after being closed down for years. Deb (Elizabeth Mitchell), the new owner, has thrown her heart, soul, and life savings into renovating the camp she loved as a child. She isn’t the only one excited to return as six former campers—Alex (Ronen Rubinstein), Jessie (Paulina Singer), Cricket (Amber Coney), Joel (Eli Goree), Blair (Mark Indelicato), and Blotter (Zachary Gordon)—join her as counselors, hoping to experience the freedom that camp brings now that they are older.
Not part of the old crew, Amy (Elizabeth Lail) is not just new to Camp Stillwater, but to camp in general. While Amy tries her best to fit in with the already tight group, Drew (Zelda Williams) is content to be left alone. As everyone settles in and prepares for the campers’ arrival, Amy is the first to get a feeling that something is not right with this idyllic summer camp.
