The Returned is to be remade for US television by cable channel A&E.
The supernatural French drama - devised by Fabrice Gobert - explores the impact on the members of a village community when their deceased friends and relatives return, unharmed and un-aged.
"The Returned takes an incredibly unique approach, filled with suspense and twists and turns, to the subject of the living dead," said A&E's Executive Vice President David McKillop.
"Part mystery, part thriller; The Returned is a perfect complement to A&E's unique brand of scripted storytelling."
The original version of The Returned is to premiere on US screens on the Sundance Channel on Halloween (October 31), continuing on Thursday nights at 9/8c.
The Canal+ drama - which currently has a second series in development - aired on Channel 4 in the UK earlier this year.
