Jens Richter, CEO, FremantleMedia International said: “Netflix is a ground-breaking platform, synonymous with high-quality, character-driven content that really pushes at the boundaries. The internet television network is the perfect home for The Returned. Through Carlton Cuse’s brilliance, the characters are taken on the most unexpected journey that is sure to captivate audiences and make them think about how they would really react if those we’d loved and lost suddenly reappeared.”

The official synopsis reads: “The Returned follows the residents of a small mountain town that is turned upside down when several local people, who have been long presumed dead suddenly reappear, bringing with them both positive and detrimental consequences. As families are reunited, the lives of those who were left behind are challenged on a physical and emotional level. Interpersonal relationships are examined with intrigue and depth as strange phenomena begin to occur.”

The remake stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), Mark Pellegrino (Lost), Jeremy Sisto (Six Feet Under), India Ennenga (Treme) and Michelle Forbes (The Killing).

The second season of Les Revenants will begin on Canal+ in France this autumn, before airing in the UK on Channel 4.
