REVIEW : “In its chilling and captivating series premiere, Revivalproves it’s not here to chase trends—it’s here to dig them up, reanimate them, and make them weird in all the best ways. VERDICT: A sharp, spooky start to a series with serious potential. Whether you’re here for the mystery, the mayhem, or Melanie Scrofano (Wynonna Earp) herself, Revival is worth the watch. Based on the @nytimes Best Seller comic book series by @timseeley & @miketron2000 - and adapted for this live action series by @aaronbkoontz & @lukeslens the tone is spooky but not heavy, with a small-town-meets-apocalypse energy that fans of @wynonnaearp Earp will immediately recognize. Quirky humor blends seamlessly with haunting moments. Set in the eerily quiet town of Wausau, Wisconsin, this new SYFY drama brings a fresh take on resurrection horror: the dead have returned, but they’re not monsters. They’re just… back. And as Officer Dana Cypress quickly learns, that might be even scarier. @melanie.scrofano.officiel makes a triumphant return to the SYFY family, stepping into Dana’s boots with the same grit, wit, and grounded charisma that made her a fan favorite in Wynonna Earp. The Series Premiere episode, “Don’t Tell Dad,” wastes no time getting strange. After a stunning opening where the recently deceased come back to life exactly as they were, the show jumps into Dana’s everyday chaos. But what makes Revival stand out isn’t just its eerie premise—it’s the human drama at its core. Dana and her younger sister, Em, share a believable, tender bond that gives the show emotional stakes. By the time the credits roll, Revival has done its job: it’s creepy, stylish, smartly acted, and leaves you wanting more. Scrofano fans will find plenty to love in her latest role, while newcomers will be drawn in by the show’s mix of supernatural mystery, grounded emotion, and classic SYFY oddness.”
