Michelle Forbes, pictured, of “True Blood” and “The Killing,” has joined the cast of A&E Network’s “The Returned,” reports Variety.
The redo of French drama “Les Revanants” hails from A&E Network Studios and FremantleMedia North America. The series has generated heat on both sides of the Atlantic for its moody take on a story of a small town upended when several people presumed dead return without any awareness that they were gone.
Forbes will play Helen Goddard, a mysterious woman who is one of the returnees. Carlton Cuse, exec producer of A&E’s “Bates Motel,” is shepherding “Returned” with Raelle Tucker (“True Blood”). Series has a 10-episode order from A&E. Jeremy Sisto, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Mark Pellegrino and Kevin Alejandro are also set to star.
