Syfy’s latest supernatural series, Revival, certainly wowed viewers with its premiere episode, “Don’t Tell Dad,” which saw Melanie Scrofano’s Dana almost lose her sister, who then turned out to be a Reviver. The show returns next Thursday with a similarly intense episode titled “Keeping Up Appearances,” but before then, we have a snippet of what’s ahead for the townsfolk who are still coming to terms with the miraculous resurrection of the recently deceased.
In “Keeping Up Appearances,” Dana’s sister Em, portrayed by Romy Weltman, is still working on the fact that she’s basically an undead —but not a zombie. At the same time, some folks in the rural Wisconsin town have come together to form an livid mob who are “ready for a Holy War.” Dana and Em’s father, Wayne (David James Elliott), the town’s sheriff, believes the only way to maintain the peace is to lock these people up. At the same time, Dana begins an investigation on her own that is also too close to home.
‘Revival’ Dares to Raise The Dead, But with No Downside?
Based on the comic book series of the same name by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton and published by Image Comics, Revival premiered on Thursday, June 12, on Syfy in the United States and CTV Sci-Fi Channel in Canada. It was created by Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce, who executive produce alongside Amanda Row, Scrofano, Stephen Foster, Greg Hemmings, Daniel March, Daniel Iron, Neil Tabatznik, Samantha Levine, and Lance Samuels. Producers are Evan Ottoni, Szonja Jakovits, and Ryan Plachcinski.
As described by Syfy, Revival tells a compelling story that “laces a steady thread of mystery into its horror-tinged supernatural” plot. It is led by small-town cop Dana, a single mom and an officer who’s planning to leave town and fighting with her father and boss, Wayne, when they’re distracted by reports of the dead coming back to life. These “Revivers,” as teased by the show’s official synopsis, “appear and act just like they once were,” which further adds:
“When local Officer and single mother Dana Cypress is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own, she’s left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion where everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.”
The next episode of Revival airs on June 19. Stay tuned to Collider for further updates and watch the episode’s sneak peek below.
