I'm so excited!!!!! No, this is not the canceled A&E American remake- this is the real thing, the hypnotic and enthralling French series is back for its second season after three years off, and this time it will be airing almost simultaneously on the Sundance Channel here in the U.S., since the show has become such a phenomenon. That means we'll be getting the new season in the fall, probably sometime in November. I cannot wait- The Returned (or Les Revenants) was high on my top ten of 2013 (when it first aired here), and now the first two episodes will be shown to critics in the brand new television section of the Toronto film festival next month. TV just keeps getting more respected and elevated, doesn't it? Well, when shows have essentially replaced movies for the onetime theater-going, mature, adult audience it has to be acknowledged sooner or later. Stay tuned for a premiere date for one of the absolute best shows on television.
