Briefly: A&E has finally released the full trailer for their remake of French series Les Revnants titled The Returned, and it definitely makes me want to check out what the series has to offer.

First of all, the French series has received nothing but critical acclaim, and the US version comes from executive producers Carlton Cuse (LOST, Bates Motel) and Raelle Tucker (True Blood)

Then there’s the freaking cast, with Scott Pilgrim‘s Mary Elizabeth Windstead, Lost‘s Mark Pellegrino, and Six Feet Under‘s Jeremy Sisto starring among a myriad of other names.

The series “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. As families are reunited, the lives of those who were left behind are challenged on a physical and emotional level. Interpersonal relationships are examined with intrigue and depth as strange phenomena begin to occur.”

Sounds pretty good to me. Though I’m not sure I can wait until its March 9th premiere. If you’re eager, the French series Les Revnants is available for streaming on Netflix. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think!

A small but interesting piece of news for A&E’s upcoming Psycho prequel, Nestor Carbonell looks to have a part in the series.

Just shortly ago from showrunner Carlton Cuse’s (Lost) twitter account:

Carbonell of course played the mysterious and unaging Richard on NBC’s insanely popular drama Lost. You’ll likely also recognize him as mayor Garcia of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.

No other information has been revealed, so who he will portray is still a mystery. A great casting choice however, Carbonell is typically fantastic.

Did you know that a prequel to Psycho was in the works?

Bates Motel is a new TV drama in the works from A&E. The 10 episode first season is set to air sometime in 2013.  Little information has been released about the series, but we do know that Carlton Cuse (Lost) and Kerry Ehrin (Parenthood) will write and produce.

Deadline learned today that actress Vera Farmiga (Source Code, The Departed) will portray Norma Bates. This is the first time the living character will appear onscreen.

What do you think of this? Do you think she’s a good fit for the part? Are you mad the series is even being made? Planning on checking it out? You have seen Psycho right?

Vera Farmiga

She’s at least a lot prettier than the last time Norma was on screen!
