Syfy is set to chill viewers this summer with Revival, a new crime-infused sci-fi series premiering Thursday, June 12 at 10 PM ET. The opening hour, Don’t Tell Dad, introduces a small Wisconsin town grappling with a truly unusual crisis: its dead have started coming back. Not as brain-hungry ghouls, mind you, but as they were before they shuffled off—which makes things awkward, to say the least.
At the center of the returning-from-beyond chaos is Officer Dana Cypress, a single mom who suddenly finds herself juggling a town full of the recently reanimated and a brutal murder investigation. And here’s the rub: in a town where the line between alive and not-alive is blurred, anyone could be a suspect.
Revival leans hard into its eerie premise, turning the classic whodunit on its head. This isn’t a zombie apocalypse; it’s a slow-burn mystery where death is more of a speed bump than a full stop. For genre fans looking for thrills beyond the usual monster mash, Revival might just be the ticket back to life—or undeath, as the case may be.
Revival premieres Thursday, June 12th at 10:00 PM ET on Syfy.
