The Fox Family Channel has picked up the fantasy series The Fearing Mind, a one-hour drama from Jim Henson Television, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The cable network has ordered 13 episodes of the series, which is slated to premiere in the fall. The show, originally developed as a pilot for NBC, revolves around a short story writer and his family. Each week, one of the writer's stories comes to life. The series will mix horror and fantasy and will make use of Henson's trademark puppetry and animatronics, the trade paper reported.

Dan Angel and Billy Brown (''The X-Files'') will write and executive produce "The Fearing Mind,'' which will explore the creative mind of Bill Fearing, a fictitious New England suspense writer.

The show was originally slated as "Master of Horror and Suspense" and was expected to air on NBC but was dropped last spring. Fox Family obviously liked what they saw in order to invest in 13 episodes.
