Revival started June 12th on SyFy
in Australia: REVIVAL a supernatural horror noir television series based on the American comic book series of the same name by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton. The eight episode series will also stream on Peacock and Crave.
THE STORY
In
a rural Wisconsin town, the sudden resurrection of the recently
deceased becomes known as "Revival Day". The newly revived maintain
their appearance, memories, and personalities from their previous lives.
While the town's residents grapple with the miraculous event, local
police officer Dana Cypress investigates a murder mystery where
everyone, including both the living and the undead, are suspects.
WHO STARS IN THE SERIES?
Melanie Scrofano plays Dana Cypress who is constantly having to prove her worth to a stubborn sheriff, who just so happens to be her father. And just when she is about to leave her small town for good, the events of Revival Day change that, instead sending her into her most important case to date. Romy Weltman is her sister Martha "Em" Cypress who, having led a very sheltered life due to a recurring illness, is still figuring out her place in the world. A world that, for her in particular, is now turned upside down. David James Elliott is Wayne Cypress the longtime Wausau sheriff who is determined to keep his town and family as normal and safe as possible — a tall order when the dead return to life in the small town he's sworn to protect. Andy McQueen is Ibrahim Ramin is a scientist from the Center for Disease Control who has been stationed in Wausau to study the bizarre phenomenon that brought people back to life.
BBC and PBS are set to do a follow up series to their Miss Austen titled MISS AUSTEN RETURNS based on Gill Hornby's The Elopement novel. Keeley Hawes will probably return as Cassandra, Jane's sister in the true story that happens later on from Miss Austen, around the 1820s, and within a wing of the family that involves Cassandra, as Deadline writes. But the past-tense years that the series will focus on will be ones that were highly creative for Jane when her novels were actually being published. Cassandra is carrying the flame in the present-tense part, and rather than burning letters and looking after Jane’s privacy as in the first series, this will be about an interpretation of Jane’s meaning and value.
