Harper's Island is a horror thriller/mystery mini-series created by Ari Schlossberg for CBS's 2008–2009 television season. The series premiered on April 9, 2009, at 10:00 pm ET/PT. Harper's Island had only one season with 13 episodes. At least one character were killed off during each episode. The first three episodes aired on Thursdays, but CBS moved the program to Saturdays during the week of April 28. The final episode aired on July 11. The series is currently being rebroadcast on the Chiller TV network. The series was shot on Bowen Island, an island municipality about two... kilometers west of Vancouver in British Columbia, and at the University of British Columbia. The actors and actresses were not told about their characters' deaths until the day that each script was given. The only two actors to know the length of their contracts were Richard Burgi, as his death was seen as a major turning point in the series and Harry Hamlin, as his contract was only for a single episode. In March 2008, CBS ordered a 15-minute pilot presentation of the project.
