Revival is a 2025 Canadian-American crime mystery series that blends the supernatural with small-town thriller elements. Directed by Amanda Row and Samir Rehem, the show follows a rural community upended when its dead begin returning — not as monsters, but as themselves — and the local officer forced to unravel what happened.

What is Revival about?

In a quiet Wisconsin farming town, something impossible happens: residents who recently died return to life, walking and talking exactly as they did before. For single mother and local law officer Dana Cypress, the event is already overwhelming — until she finds herself at the center of a violent murder that has no clear explanation. With the town fractured between grief, wonder, and paranoia, Dana must investigate a crime where every person around her, whether they draw breath or not, is a potential suspect. The series builds its tension slowly, layering domestic drama over an ever-deepening mystery.

Cast & crew

Melanie Scrofano leads as Dana Cypress, bringing grounded emotional weight to a character stretched between duty and personal trauma. Romy Weltman and Andy McQueen provide strong support, while David James Elliott adds a stoic, authoritative presence that anchors the ensemble. Directors Amanda Row and Samir Rehem bring a deliberate, atmospheric pacing that trusts the audience.

Context & significance

Revival sits at a compelling intersection of crime procedural and quiet supernatural fiction — a combination that has resonated deeply with Persian-speaking viewers who enjoy character-driven mysteries with genuine emotional stakes. The series is available on K-Time with a Persian dub as well as Persian subtitles, making it fully accessible whether you prefer to listen in Farsi or follow along in your native language. For the diaspora audience, small-town drama with a moral ambiguity at its core — where community loyalty clashes with the need for truth — carries a particular resonance. The Canadian-American production shares thematic DNA with atmospheric mystery series that have long been popular across Persian-speaking households.
