One miraculous day in rural Wisconsin, the recently deceased suddenly return to life. But these are not zombies, as the "revived" appear and behave just as they did before. As the mystery of this phenomenon fuels unrest, Dana Cypress, a down-on-her-luck and crass police officer and single mother, is thrust into a peculiar murder investigation-one where the murder victim is now alive, and everyone, whether living or revived, is a suspect.

Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Revival isn’t top-notch television, nor is it going to redefine the zombie genre. But over the first six episodes... it is a somewhat faithful adaptation of a beloved series with a beloved lead. Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Nick Schager The Daily Beast A novel twist on a familiar premise, and bound to entice those who can’t get enough of the undead. Jun 15, 2025 Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Revival might not have sufficient bite to leave a mark. But as simply a fun mystery to escape into, familiar enough to be comforting but fresh enough to feel unpredictable, it does what it has to do. Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Thanks to the appealing cast, especially Scrofano’s dry wit, it’s already charming and very much in the vein of Wynonna Earp, Resident Alien, or even Buffy in its heyday: catnip for a particular slice of this site’s genre-loving crowd. Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Sam Barsanti IGN Movies Even as the tone shifts wildly from comedy to horror, an excellent performance from star Melanie Scrofano keeps things from going fully off the rails. Rated: 6/10 Jun 13, 2025 Full Review Tim Stevens The Spool [C]inematographers Justin Black and Martin Wojtunik, along with the directing corps led by Amanda Row and Samir Rehem, know how to pick their shots.

Angelica M. 3.5/5 Fun show. Nothing to serious but it keeps my attention. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Seb T 4 Episodes in and I CANNOT WAIT to see where this goes. It's a murder mystery show, with a twist on a twist. The sisters are wonderful. The characters are all quirky and weird. I'm hooked! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/25 Full Review Matthew N. So many people have been telling me to watch this. I normally hate zombie stuff so I wasn’t really into the idea, but I Finally did and it is fantastic. Great mystery that keeps you guessing and surprises you. The two girls are great in it. It’s deep and actually has something to say. Apparently this was based on a comic book so I might check that out when this is over. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Audience Member This show is amazing. Melanie Scrofano leads this show beautifully. David James Elliott is great. Have to be honest, I was manly going to watch this show for Phil Brooks and I have the say I wasn't disappointed that I had to wait for him because the show is great, but I'm glad that he has appeared. Can't wait for more of him. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Slick R Couldn't get past the 1st episode. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/03/25 Full Review Di B Revival is another fantastic show. There is a level of mystery about it with a nice balance of horror and humor, which really draws you in and makes you wish you didn't have to wait a week for another episode. The acting is great, looking at Melanie Scrofano here, who once again shows how brilliant an actress she is. She is the reason I started watching Revival when it was released, as she very quickly became my favourite actress as Wynonna Earp. I love how you can see her as a person within the character of Dana. Yet again it's like the role was written for her. It's the show we didn't know we needed after Wynonna Earp. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
