Shooting of Season 2 might be delayed till september

Meaning it won't air till next year

Count me among those who absolutely loved the atmosphere and mystery of the show but felt that it had a very weak ending. Almost as if they were told that they're coming back for season 2 so they had to rejig a cliffhanger ending with no answers given.

 

[biosnake20]

Netflix, as of today!

Awesome, thanks for the heads up.

[Des0lar]

Just finished it!

On the one hand, I really like that they didn't give us a lot of answers. On the other hand, I hate them for it.

 

[WoodWERD]

Aww, delayed? So many questions I'd like answered!

Mogwai confirm plans to soundtrack series 2 of 'The Returned' and reissue second album

Looking forward to a whopping 3 new songs!

Mogwai confirm plans to soundtrack series 2 of 'The Returned' and reissue second album

Great news on both counts. CODY might still be my favourite Mogwai album overall though it is a ridiculously difficult call to make.

As for The Returned; finished watching season 1 last night. Was absolutely blown away, right up there with very the best TV drama I've seen. Shame season 2 seems so far away but I'd rather they take their time and maintain the immaculate standard they've set so far.

Amazing show, fantastic writing...not a weak link in the characters. I thoroughly enjoyed it and doubt the American version's as good lol

Yep, I honestly felt it was near perfection. One of those scernario's where everything came together just so right. The writing, setting, cast, pacing, music, every last detail.

Broen (original Danish 'The Bridge') is the only other thing I've recently watched that's as immaculated conceived and executed.

Found on Reddit: Latest estimate remains September filming at earliest, broadcast mid-2015

These guys are giving the Venture Bros hiatuses a run for their money.

 

[Arksy]

I wonder if I can get this somewhere with French subtitles.......

 

[seat]

Sorry if this is already known, but will the second season continue the same story line with the same characters as season one, or will it follow a different arc with a new cast? I'd love it if they continued the same plot to see what happens next, but then again I'm not sure what else can be said beyond what's already been revealed about these people.

 

[ComputerMKII]

UK version of "The Returned" no longer in production, US version now the only English-language version in development

 

[ComputerMKII]

Russian and Italian adaptations of Les Revenants now in development

 

[UrbanRats]

How many versions do we need? subtitles aren't that hard to read, goddamn.
Plus in Italy we dub everything anyway. meh.

 

[ComputerMKII]

One thing that is certainly on the cards is their soundtrack for the upcoming series of Les Revenents (that's The Returned to you English speaking viewers out there). Their score for season one was one of the best bodies of work and finest albums released in 2013, and they've already started to think about season two despite them adding: "I don't think they've finished writing the new series yet."

"Last time they sent us a script and a list of influences to set the tone like books and films to put us on the right track," says Barry. "With the first one we had to go on tour so we had to start recording before we'd seen any footage so it was a bit of a stab in the dark, but it worked out quite well. Who knows what will happen?"

Stuart continues: "I think now that the tone has been established, it will be a little bit simpler to work through. The only reference we've been given so far is the book The Road by Cormac McCarthy, so it's going to be pretty grim. I don't know if they're going to try and add a comedic twist. "

Going by my fuzzy memory,

a whole village was flooded

I remember a scene showing

Some news about Season 2

A few weeks after the flood, the town is under the control of the authorities and life goes on. The survivors of the Helping Hand are the only ones who know of the existence of the Revenants. Some are desperate to find them.

8 episodes

Release date is "soon"

 

[ComputerMKII]

Shooting of Season 2 will start on September 29 and will end on March 20, 2015: http://www.canalplus.fr/c-series/c-...les-revenants-saison-2-entre-en-tournage.html

By the way, Alix Poisson's character (Laure) will only appear at the end of Season 2, as the actress' pregnancy didn't fit with the story.

They're still casting extras and they're shooting until late March, so no. Broadcast dates haven't been announced, by the way.

I'm much more interested in season 2 of the French version.

Btw, thanks ComputerMKII for the updates. I really loved season one of this and am looking forward to its return.

 

[Gray Matter]

Mega bump!

Season 2 will be on Netflix February 17th.

Been rewatching it in anticipation of season 2 and also to recap since it has been over a year that I watched for the first time.

For those that haven't watched yet, I highly recommend this, is so good.

 

[Gray Matter]

Season 2 is up on Netflix if anyone still cares.

Thanks for the heads up! Wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen your post.

Yeah I just got an email from Netflix about this.

Awesome! I missed the first episode on Sundance and it wasn't available to watch onDemand. I can't wait.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

I've heard season 2 is even more inscrutable than season 1, and not necessarily in a good way, but I'm still looking forward to checking it out.

The connections in season one all made sense, maybe not at the moment they're presented, but eventually you understand it.

Season two so far, I'm 4 episodes in, don't feel completely thought out and just put there just because. I have yet to finish it, but at the moment everything feels very convoluted
