As a seasoned gamer and avid fan of all things undead, I couldn’t be more thrilled to learn that Melanie Scrofano is returning to SYFY with the new series “Revival”! Having spent countless hours battling hordes of zombies in various video games, I can only imagine how exciting it will be to see her take on the role of Dana Cypress, a small-town cop dealing with the chaos caused by resurrected corpses acting just like they did in life.
Actress Melanie Scrofano is back on SYFY! After her role in “Wynonna Earp,” she will take the lead in a new zombie series, titled “Revival.” Production for this show has started in New Brunswick, Canada, as announced today. Besides Scrofano, the main cast also includes Romy Weltman from “Murdoch Mysteries,” David James Elliott known for his work on “Mad Men,” and Andy McQueen from “Mrs. Davis.
Based on the comic book series “Revival” by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton, this story revolves around a tranquil Wisconsin town that plunges into turmoil as deceased individuals miraculously return, seemingly undisturbed by their previous stint as earthworm nourishment.
The characters of SYFY’s Revival, explained

What is Revival about?
The TV series is set in rural Wisconsin and follows an unusual event where people unexpectedly rise from their graves. Contrary to typical imagery of moaning zombies seeking brains, the risen corpses here behave exactly as they did when alive.
When Dana Cypress, a local officer and single mother, finds herself suddenly entangled in a grisly murder case that involves her directly, she must navigate through the turmoil as her small town grapples with fear and uncertainty. In this community where both living and dead inhabitants become possible suspects, she struggles to unravel the puzzle.
When will Revival premiere on SYFY?
SYFY has not revealed when Revival will premiere, given that filming has just started, it seems reasonable to expect the series to air some time between mid-2025 and late 2025.
Aaron B. Koontz (from “Scare Package”) and Luke Boyce (of “Revealer”) have created the original content for television and are serving as showrunners and executive producers. Additionally, Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron, Samantha Levine, Daniel March, Greg Hemmings, and Stephen Foster are also involved in the project as executive producers.
