The Returned
The dead have returned. But this is a homecoming like no other.
Created by Fabrice Gobert
On Canal+
A haunting, slow-burn mystery about grief and displacement where the return of the dead becomes a philosophical reckoning with loss, identity, and what it means to belong.
In the shadow of an enormous hydraulic dam, the lives of the residents of a small French town are changed to their core when hundreds of previously dead relatives all return home on the same day.
