A Town in Chaos, a Mystery Unfolds
When the dead start walking and acting… normal, it throws the small town into utter chaos and confusion. At the center of it all is Dana Cypress (Melanie Scrofano), a local police officer and single mother. She unexpectedly finds herself thrust into a perplexing murder mystery. Now, she faces the impossible task of making sense of this unprecedented situation – and perhaps, the secrets the revived might still hold.
Impressive Talent Behind and In Front of the Camera
“Revival” is based on the critically acclaimed and best-selling Image Comics series of the same name, created by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton. This pedigree ensures a rich and compelling narrative with a strong foundation in character development and intricate world-building.
Leading the cast is Melanie Scrofano. She is no stranger to action and horror after her role as gunslinger Wynonna Earp in the long-running series. Having starred in movies like Ready or Not, she brings a strong horror pedigree to her role as Officer Dana Cypress. She’s joined by Romy Weltman, David James Elliott, and Andy McQueen. A talented roster of recurring guest stars adds intrigue to the series, including Steven Ogg, Phil Brooks (CM Punk), Gia Sandhu, Katherine King So, Maia Jae, and Nathan Dales. Mark Little, Glen Gould, Lara Jean Chorostecki, and Conrad Coates also lend their unique talents to the unsettling world of “Revival.”
