‘Wynonna Earp’ Star’s New 93% Rotten Tomatoes Sci-fi Series Teases Fresh Horror in Episode 3 Promo

Two episodes in, and Syfy’s latest series, Revival, is already going from strength to strength. Following a pulse-racing opening that showcased the series’ gorgeous horror-noir-inspired visuals and its clever spin on the zombie sub-genre, Episode 2, “Keeping Up Appearances,” cemented each of these aspects and confirmed the show already as must-watch horror TV. The prime factor in the series’ early success is Wynonna Earp star Melanie Scrofano, who stars as local police officer Dana Cypress.

Now with a 93% Rotten Tomatoes score higher than both Wynonna Earp and Scrofano’s cult slasher-comedy movie, Ready or Not, more will likely begin heading to Syfy to see what all the fuss is about. They will be greeted by the upcoming Episode 3, “Reality Check,” which looks to be a chaotic installment ready to lean heavier into horror stylings as the mystery continues to unravel. As can be seen in the episode’s promo, available to watch below, there are many more twists and turns ahead in this gripping series, with the Episode 3 synopsis reading, “As Wausau fractures, Dana’s search brings her into conflict with a dangerous local family.”

A hit with both audiences and critics, Collider’s own Carly Lane awarded the series an impressive 7/10 in her review, even stating that “there’s enough life in this quirky apocalyptic horror series to sustain several more seasons in the future.” Not every horror story today requires a big budget, with Revival already working wonders with limited resources. “Ultimately, Revival is poised to debut as a fun, refreshing addition to low-budget, small-screen horror fare,” Lane said, adding, “It’s not necessarily aiming to reinvent the wheel for the genre, but it doesn’t need to when it has a terrific leading lady in Scrofano, who makes any series more than worth tuning in for.”
