Zombies are always cool and never get out of fashion and now more than ever, and for that reason the Sundance Channel is trying to jump on the train with an eight part zombie drama called The Returned.
The series
is based on the French film Les Revenants and is "set in a French mountain
town where a seemingly random group of people find themselves in a state of
confusion as they attempt to return to their homes. What they don't know yet is
that they have been dead for several years, and no one is expecting them back.
As they struggle to reintegrate with their families and past lovers, buried
secrets emerge and new mysteries develop as they grapple with a miraculous and
sinister new reality. But it seems they are not the only ones to have returned
from the dead. Their arrival coincides with a series of gruesome murders, which
bear a chilling resemblance to the work of a serial killer from the past."
In a
recent statement, Sundance president Sarah Barnett had this to say:
"We
decided to take zombies to a new and utterly original level -- we made them
French! The Returned is smart entertainment that shocks and entertains at every
turn. We think our audience will love how this series grounds the supernatural
in deeply human emotions."
The series
will premiere on Halloween, two weeks after The Walking Dead’s new season on
AMC.
