Syfy’s ‘Revival’ Series Based On Comics Adds 8 To Cast
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Revival, Syfy‘s upcoming drama series adaptation, based on Tim Seeley and Mike Norton’s Image comic book series, has added eight to its cast in recurring roles. Gia Sandhu (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds), Katherine King So (The Voyeurs), Maia Jae Bastidas (Gen V), Nathan Dales (Letterkenny), Mark Little (Mr.
D), Glen Gould (Tulsa King), Lara Jean Chorostecki (Hannibal), and Conrad Coates (Fargo) join previously announced series regulars Melanie Scrofano, Romy Weltman, David James Elliot, and Andy McQueen.
Production recently wrapped in New Brunswick, Canada. In Revival, on one miraculous day in rural Wisconsin, the recently deceased suddenly rise from their graves.
But this is no zombie story as the “revived” appear and act just like they once were. When local Officer and single mother Dana Cypress (Scrofano) 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. Sandhu plays Nithiya Weimar, a seasoned psychologist fighting Stage 4 cancer. King So portrays May Tao, a local journalist with a healthy distrust of the Wausau Police who harbors big secrets of her own. Bastidas is Kay, Em’s opinionated college roommate with a penchant for getting high and getting into trouble. Dales plays Deputy McCray, the obnoxious, abrasive head of the local Drug Task Force. Little portrays Deputy Brent, Dana’s closest confidant on the force.
