A+E Studios and FremantleMedia North America will produce an English-language remake of the hit French supernatural mini-series Les Revenants a.k.a The Returned (2012). Bates Motel executive producer and co-writer Carlton Cuse is expected to be the man who will adapt the French drama for U.S. viewers.
The Canal + eight-part series follows closely a group of people who arrive in a small mountain village to reclaim their homes but come to realize that they might have been dead for years.
The cast of The Returned includes Anne Consigny, Frédéric Pierrot, Clotilde Hesme, Jean-François Sivadier, Guillaume Gouix, and Céline Sallette.
The soundtrack for the series was created by Scottish ambient rockers Mogwai.
Earlier this month, Chicago-based independent U.S. distributors Music Box Films announced that they have acquired the U.S. distribution rights to The Returned and are planning to have the show on DVD and Blu-ray in January 2014.
