US remake of ‘The Returned’ ordered

Posted Filed under

US cable channel A&E has given a straight-to-series order for its remake of French supernatural drama The Returned.

The ten episodes will be executive produced by Carlton Cuse (Bates Motel, Lost) and Raelle Tucker (True Blood).

A&E general manager David McKillop commented: “The Returned has the potential to be one of the most compelling drama series on cable, thanks to phenomenal scripts written by Carlton and Raelle.”

The first season of the original The Returned series – titled Les Revenants in France – aired on Channel 4 last year. Season 2 will begin filming later this year and will air in the UK in 2015.
