Notably, CM Punk appears in a recurring role, adding to the show’s intrigue.
Created by Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce, Revival aims to stay true to its comic book roots while delivering a fresh take on the horror genre. The series delves into themes of life, death, and the complexities of human relationships in the face of the unexplainable.
Filmed in New Brunswick, Canada, the production captures the haunting beauty of its setting, enhancing the show’s unsettling narrative. With its unique premise and strong source material, Revival is poised to be a standout addition to SYFY’s lineup.
