Harper's Island, which starts next week on CBS, is doing things a little differently than your standard TV series. Not only do we know its start date (April 9), but we also already know its end date (July 2). And it's best not to get too attached to any of the characters, as one by one, they're all getting killed.
The series finds a group of friends and family reuniting on an island off the coast of Seattle for what should be an idyllic wedding between Trish (Katie Cassidy) and Henry (Christopher Gorham, playing a character with an awfully familiar name). But there's just, y'know, one minor problem: The guests are all dying at the hands of an unseen murderer, revealed only in the final episode.
It's an interesting premise, but I have a feeling a lot will depend on this show's execution. Will it be creepy, haunting, and captivating to the point that I have to keep watching to know the identity of the killer? Or will it be cheesy and over-the-top? I'll be curious to find out next week, but for now, to check out a few of the promos CBS has been passing around and all the photos introducing us to the island's characters, just read more.

I'll probably tune in to this, but only when my BF is home - I'm such a wimp!
1Also, why is Christopher Gorham familiar? I clicked the link but couldn't make the connection.
2i actually can't wait to see this show. i'm a big fan of new show concepts and i hope that they promote this one a bit more so i remember to tune in. otherwise i might have to set my DVR tonight so i don't forget.
3This sounds interesting. I might watch the first episode, if I remember, and see how it turns out.
4i think i could get into a show like this. reminds me a little like meadowlands.
5tlsgirl — he was Henry (Betty's accountant boyfriend) on Ugly Betty
6They should send a boat out to pick up Agent Cooper. All he needs is a little coffee, a little pie, then consider the case solved.
7Thanks Buzz!
@laka - I LOVED agent cooper! He gave me a lifelong crush on Kyle MacLachlan.
8i can't wait for this show.it looks good.
9I've been so intrigued by this and can't wait for it to premiere! I think it sounds awesome.

11emilyinfini - that's what I thought too! Guess the difference is that this is not a contest...
Looks interesting though - I will probably give it a chance.
12I am pulling for this to be good.
13Christopher Gorham was also in the show popular.
14The preview for this always comes on all the time and it looks a bit creepy. It sounds interesting though.
