If you finished Stranger Things and are looking for a darker, slower-burning follow-up, Les Revenants is available to stream for free on the ad-supported platform Tubi. Premiering on Canal+ in 2012, the series adapts Robin Campillo’s 2004 film They Came Back, though the TV version takes its own, more melancholic direction.

The story unfolds in a small town where people presumed dead return to their families unscarred and with no memory of what happened. Their reappearance coincides with a series of eerie events, and the show reveals its mysteries deliberately, a pace that benefits from entering the series with few expectations.

Critics embraced the series’ serious approach to the “returned from the dead” concept: it won the International Emmy for Best Drama, and Season 1 holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes while Season 2 sits at 95%. The show leans into atmosphere and unease rather than gore or heavy makeup effects.
