The Returned is returning … but cast don’t know the plot

One of the stars of Channel 4’s chilling drama The Returned has told how the cast have been kept in the dark about the next series.

Jenna Thiam, who plays Léna, said the French drama that has captivated TV audiences, has “universal appeal”.

Thiam, 23, plays a 19-year-old whose twin sister, Camille, is one of a group who come back from the dead to an isolated Alpine town.

Fans have inundated chat forums with theories from the clues woven by creator Fabrice Gobert, which may or may not be answered in the series finale on Sunday night.

In an exclusive interview with ES Magazine, Thiam revealed that the drama’s “peculiar ambience” was created by shooting between 4pm and 9pm every day.

But there is no risk of any spoilers for the next series, she said, as “Fabrice is keeping it to himself.”
