Syfy has released the trailer for “Revival,” the channel’s soon-to-debut series that CM Punk has a role in.
The series will make its debut with season one premiering on Syfy at 10 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, June 12. It’s a zombie show where, on “Revival Day,” the recently deceased suddenly come back to life again:
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 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’s character appears at the 1:15 mark in the trailer, which can be watched below:
“Revival Day gave us a second chance, and I’m not going to let that go to waste,” he says.
Punk told Deadline last month that he’s “very excited” about this show and the role he has in the upcoming horror movie “Night Patrol.” He noted that it’s a lot easier to do outside projects now than it used to be in WWE.
“It’s a lot easier now. It was harder back in the day because wrestling was the lion’s share of what I did, and I wasn’t allowed to do other stuff,” Punk said. “I have pre-existing relationships and projects I work on that are grandfathered into my contract. I typically do Monday Night Raw live on Netflix every week. But if I need to dip out for two weeks to shoot an independent film, I can always do that. We’re trying to petition Netflix to do a third season of ‘Heels.’ I have two projects coming down the line that I’m very excited about. One is the TV show ‘Revival’ that will air on Syfy, and a really, really fun movie called ‘Night Patrol,’ written and directed by Ryan Prows. I don’t want to give away too much but it’s night patrol, LAPD, Bloods, Crips, vampires.”
Punk and Roman Reigns were both betrayed by Paul Heyman as Heyman aligned with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41. On the Raw after WrestleMania, Punk and Reigns were laid out by Heyman’s newly formed duo of Rollins and Bron Breakker.
