CM Punk has another acting gig lined up. He will play a recurring role in the Syfy horror series, “Revival.”
Variety reported the news today. The show was picked up this past May and is based on the Image Comics series by Tim Seeley and Mike Norton.
Punk will star in the series alongside Melanie Scrofano, Romy Weltman, David James Elliott, and Andy McQueen. Steven Ogg will appear in a recurring role as well. The details about the character Punk will play are still unknown.
Production is currently underway in New Brunswick, Canada. Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce developed the show for TV and are the executive producers and showrunners. Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron, Samantha Levine, Daniel March, Melanie Scrofano, Greg Hemmings, and Stephen Foster also executive produce. Blue Ice Pictures and Hemmings Films produce the series.
The official description of the series notes, “On one miraculous day in rural Wisconsin, the recently deceased suddenly rise from their graves. But this is no zombie story as the ‘revived’ appear and act just like they once were. When local officer and single mother Dana Cypress (Scrofano) is unexpectedly thrown into the center of a brutal murder mystery of her own, she’s left to make sense of the chaos amidst a town gripped by fear and confusion where everyone, alive or undead, is a suspect.”
Punk has starred in “Heels,” “Mayans MC,” “The Girl on the Third Floor” and “Jakob’s Wife.” He is slated to be part of the upcoming film “Night Patrol,” opposite Jermaine Fowler, Justin Long, and Dermot Mulroney.
