Jeff Russo and Zoe Keating are composing the music for the upcoming A&E original series The Returned starring Mark Pellegrino, Tandi Wright, India Ennenga, Sophie Lowe, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jeremy Sisto, Kevin Alejandro, Agnes Bruckner and Sandrine Holt. The show is based on the International Emmy Award-winning French series Les Revenants and 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. Carlton Cuse (Lost, Bates Motel) has written the pilot episode and is writing and executive producing the series with Raelle Tucker (True Blood). Thom Beers, Craig Cegielski and Stefanie Berk are also executive producing the A+E Studios and FremantleMedia North America production. The Returned is set to premiere in 2015 on A&E.
Russo who received his first Emmy nomination earlier this year for his work on FX’s Fargo will also return to score the show’s second season and is also co-writing the music for CBS’ upcoming CSI: Cyber with Ben Decter. Keating is best known as a cellist and has performed on the scores for such projects as Breaking Bad, Warrior and The Secret Life of Bees. She also composed music for CBS’ Elementary and features including The Devil’s Chair and Desert Sun.
