From executive producers Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel) and Raelle Tucker (True Blood), The Returned focuses on a small town that is turned upside down when several local people, who have been long presumed dead suddenly reappear, bringing with them both positive and detrimental consequences. As families are reunited, the lives of those who were left behind are challenged on a physical and emotional level.
