“Revival,” Syfy‘s upcoming adaptation of Tim Seeley and Mike Norton’s Image Comics series of the same name, has set its main cast. Led by Melanie Scrofano, Romy Weltman, David James Elliott and Andy McQueen, the series has entered production in New Brunswick, Canada.

The official logline for “Revival” reads, “On one miraculous day in rural Wisconsin, 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.”

Scrofano plays Dana, who is “constantly having to prove her worth to a stubborn sheriff, who just so happens to be her father. And just when she is about to leave her small town for good, the events of Revival Day change that, instead sending her into her most important case to date.”

Weltman plays Martha “Em” Cypress, the sheriff’s younger daughter who, “having led a very sheltered life due to a recurring illness, is still figuring out her place in the world. A world that for her in particular, is now turned upside down.”

Elliott plays Wayne Cypress, the longtime Wausau sheriff who is “determined to keep his town and family as normal and safe as possible — a tall order when the dead return to life in the small town he’s sworn to protect.”

McQueen plays Ibrahim Ramin, scientist from the Center for Disease Control “who has been stationed in Wausau to study the bizarre phenomenon that brought people back to life.”
