Scrofano has joined the cast of Syfy’s Revival , our sister site Variety reports. She’s joined by David James Elliott, who starred in CBS’ JAG .

The show is an adaptation of the comics series by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton, and chronicles how, one day, those who recently died in a rural Wisconsin town suddenly come back to life. “But this is no zombie story,” reads the official logline, “as the ‘revived’ appear and act just like they once were. When local officer and single mother Dana Cypress is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own, she’s left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion where everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.”

Elliott will play Wayne Cypress, town sheriff. Scrofano will play Dana, his daughter who is about to leave town for good when Revival Day happens and changes her plans.

Revival has begun production in New Brunswick, Canada. The series was created by Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce, who will serve as showrunners and executive producers.
