The Returned tells the story of a handful of individuals returning to their Alpine hometown in a state of confusion – only to discover that they have been dead for several years.

Series 1 concludes this weekend on Channel 4. The first subtitled drama on Channel 4 for over 20 years, The Returned has attracted an average of 1.8 million viewers each week and a 7.1% share of the audience at 9pm on Sundays.

Eight new episodes are due to begin filming in France next February and Channel 4 has acquired the UK premiere broadcast rights to Series 2.

Writer Fabrice Gobert previously revealed: “I hope there will be three series. We have a lot of stories to tell! But it depends on the audience of course…”
