Revival, the television show based on the graphic novel series from Image Comics, is set to premiere Thursday, June 12 at 10 p.m. on SYFY with episodes available on Peacock a week after they air.
This paranormal noir show stars fan-favorite Wynonna Earp actress, Melanie Scrofano, alongside Romy Weltman, David James Elliott, and Andy McQueen. It will bring to life (revive?) Tim Seeley and Mike Norton’s New York Times bestselling graphic novel series of the same name.
This Wisconsin-set ‘farm noir’ story puts a twist on the zombie genre that makes it the perfect read for fans of horror obsessions like Twin Peaks, The Walking Dead, and The Last of Us, but with a grounded procedural mystery through-line similar to Mare of Easttown and Broadchurch.
Revival first launched at Image in 2012 and took the industry by storm with multiple sell-outs and reprints, a bevy of award nominations, and critical accolades that shot the title to the top of the sales charts. The Revival series has since sold over 1 million copies across all formats and continues to be one of Image’s most popular reordered backlist titles today. It has been translated and published internationally in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Poland, and Mexico.
In Revival, for one day in rural central Wisconsin, the dead came back to life. Now, it’s up to Officer Dana Cypress to deal with the media scrutiny, religious zealots, and government quarantine that has come with them. In a town where the living have to learn to deal with those who are supposed to be dead, Officer Cypress is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own… and left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion. Everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.
Revival Compendium trade paperback is available at local comic book shops and bookstores.
