The Daily BeastNick SchagerJun 13, 2025
Season 1 Review: A novel twist on a familiar premise, and bound to entice those who can’t get enough of the undead. Read full review

Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewRob OwenJun 12, 2025
Season 1 Review: Through its first three episodes, “Revival” showrunners/writers Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce seem more interested in the impacts of Revival Day — personally, politically and culturally — than the mystery of it all, and that is to the show’s benefit. Read full review

Season 1 Review: In adapting Revival for the small screen, Koontz and Boyce dutifully hit all the right dramatic notes while breezing past the heft of its ideas. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterAngie HanJun 12, 2025
Season 1 Review: Revival might not have sufficient bite to leave a mark. But as simply a fun mystery to escape into, familiar enough to be comforting but fresh enough to feel unpredictable, it does what it has to do. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While some of its side plots are less compelling, the main mystery, which gradually spools out to cover more of this small town and its eclectic characters, is packed with plenty of intriguing twists and turns to keep viewers hooked. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s really the cast that helps elevate “Revival,” particularly Scrofano, who carries the entire piece on her resolute shoulders. .... One hopes that the show’s remaining episodes will continue to build on the solid foundation the first stretch serves up. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While Revival struggles to distinguish itself as a crime drama, that's hardly a dealbreaker. We're here for its blend of small-town hijinks and cheerfully morbid supernatural mysteries — and, I'd wager, because a lot of Wynonna Earp fans want to see Melanie Scrofano star in another genre show.

Season 1 Review: Revival features a solid cast, though no one gives a particularly standout performance. Similarly, there are several narrative threads in each episode, but the writing and visuals pop. Read full review
