SYFY Recently Ordered a TV Series Based on Image Comics’ Revival

In other SYFY news, the network recently announced that an adaptation of Image Comics’ Revival had been given a series order. Revival is based on Tim Seely and Mike Norton’s comic of the same name. The series, which is produced by Blue Ice Pictures with Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron, Samantha Levine, Daniel March, Luke Boyce, and Aaron Koontz all producing, is expected to debut sometime in 2025.

Revival is set on one miraculous day in rural Wisconsin when the recently deceased suddenly rise from their graves. But this is no zombie story as the “revived” appear and act just like they once were. When local Officer and single mother Dana Cypress is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own, she’s left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion where everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.

The Ark Season 2 arrives Wednesday, July 17th at 10/9c on SYFY.
