Christopher Gorham, star of CBS' upcoming mystery-horror limited series Harper's Island, told SCI FI Wire that the show is "like Survivor in that way."
That means it will end its story after the initial 13 episodes, and a second season will feature "an entirely new cast, an entirely new story and in an entirely new location," Gorham said in an exclusive interview. "The only thing that it will have in common with this incarnation of Harper's will be the name Harper's Island. But it won't be Harper's Island. It'll be Harper's Safari or Harper's Cruise Ship or something like that."
Gorham (Jake 2.0) stars as Henry, a man whose friends and family gather together on the title island for his wedding to high-school sweetheart Trish (Katie Cassidy). It's far from a joyous homecoming for many, as seven years ago someone killed several people on the island, including the mother of Henry's best friend, Abby (Elaine Cassidy), who reluctantly agrees to return to the island for Henry's nuptials. Worse, someone starts killing members of the wedding party.
SCI FI Fire spoke exclusively to Gorham by telephone last month. Following are edited excerpts from that conversation. Harper's Island debuts on Thursday and will air at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
