HARPER’S ISLAND is about a group of family and friends who travel to a secluded island off the coast of Seattle for a destination wedding. This island is famous for a streak of unsolved murders from seven years ago. Although they’ve come to laugh and to love, what they don’t know is they’ve also come… to die. As the wedding festivities begin, friendships are tested and secrets exposed as a murderer claims victims, one by one, transforming the wedding week of fun and celebration into a terrifying struggle for survival.
In every episode, someone is killed and every person is a suspect, from the wedding party to the island locals. By the end of the 13 episodes, all questions will be answered, the killer will be revealed and only a few will survive.
Tonight on CBS at 10p they are premiering their groundbreaking series Harper’s Island. Unlike other shows that try to keep their cast members this one is killing them off one-by-one.
Chris Gorham plays Henry (again with that name) The Groom who is returning home to Harper’s Island to get married. His childhood buddy Abby is also returning home for the first time since her mother was murdered and her dad (Supernatural’s Jim Beaver) is the sheriff there. Henry’s best man (the adorable bad boy Matt Barr) is trying to plan to the bachelor party, but he is losing guests faster than a stripper loses her clothes at one of those things. Then there is Henry’s uncle played by Harry Hamlin who starts the party off before they even get on the boat. How long will his party last? The bride’s father is played by Richard Burgi, who better have a gruesome death as revenge for him f*ckign a couch on Nip/Tuck. Then there is the funny and cute Adam Campbell trying to propose to his girlfriend the talented Cameron Richardson. But what will happen first…him popping the question or them getting popped?
