Can't write a story about The Returned without embedding the awesome theme song from Mogwai.







I don't know about you, but I've been waiting for this news for a long, long, long time. SundanceTV has finally announced a tentative premiere date for its French zombie-ish drama import The Returned! Season 2 will premiere on American television this fall. The news was announced on Twitter and the network did not care to get more specific about an exact date for its, ahem, return.



This is good-great-fantastic news since the first season's run on SundanceTV aired almost a full year after The Returned (Les Revenants) was broadcast in its native France. We're getting it sooner this time around, baby!



The Returned is set in a small French town where the dead come back to life, but not in a zombie-ish "me want brains" way, in a mostly regular "why the F was I dead?" way. It's similar to ABC's late drama Resurrection, but you know, better. A&E even attempted to remake the series with Carlton Cuse at the helm, but without the magic that made the original so great, it flopped and was quickly canceled.



Oh, and here's the best part: SundanceTV also released a teaser for Season 2. Check it out below:





I'm not going to beat around the bush, guys. This is a must-see. The first season is only eight episodes long, and is so addictive you'll find yourself trying to eat your television when it's on. You can catch up on Netflix, or buy it from iTunes, Amazon, or that shady fella in the alley by your house. Do it! You won't regret it.
