NRSeason 1
An unspeakable evil has arrived.
Synopsis
Storm of the Century (1999), Season 1 is Stephen King's original-screenplay miniseries you can watch online on iFILM — three parts set on a tiny island cut off by a blizzard.
Little Tall Island, off the coast of Maine, loses every road, ferry and phone line to the snow. That same night a stranger named Andre Linoge walks in, kills without hiding it, then waits calmly in a jail cell. He knows the secret each resident has buried, and he repeats one line — give me what I want and I'll go away. Constable Mike Anderson slowly grasps that the weather is the lesser threat; the price Linoge names is the real storm.
King wrote this straight for the screen, with no novel behind it, so the dread lives in a moral bargain rather than effects. Across three parts the trap tightens toward a choice that will split the town. Stream Storm of the Century Season 1 online on iFILM.

S1·E1Part 1
A very powerful blizzard hits the small town of Little Tall Island off the coast of Maine. This storm is so powerful that all access off the island is blocked, and no one is able to leave the island, until the storm is over. While trying to deal with the storm, the citizens of the town are visited by Andre Linoge, a menacing stranger who apparently knows all of the townsfolk's darkest secrets. After having killed one of the town's residents, Linoge is jailed. Even though he is kept in jail by the town's trusted constable, Mike Anderson, Linoge is somehow able to force people to commit suicide or kill others from within his cell. Linoge constantly repeats "Give me what I want and I'll go away" through his victims as well as to his victims. Interestingly, although the adults are terrified of the stranger, all the children are drawn to him.
S1·E2Part 2
In a dream, the townspeople see themselves walking into the sea two-by-two with the word Croatoan (a reference to the colony of Roanoke) carved on their heads. Eventually, Mike finds out that Linoge is an anagram of the demon Legion and agrees to organize the townspeople so they can hear his demands.
S1·E3Part 3
What Linoge desires is an heir, one of the eight small children that he had incapacitated early on in the miniseries — someone to "carry on his work when he can no longer do it himself", although Linoge's life spans millennia, he is not immortal. Any of the eight children, he states, will suit him.
