Our Take On Revival’s Fresh Rotten Tomatoes Score
Melanie Scrofano Will Have A Great Summer 2025
Revival’s warm reception is great news forMelanie Scrofano, who stars in two shows in summer 2025. Along withRevival,Scrofano returns as Captain Batel inStar Trek: Strange New Worldsseason 3. The back end ofRevival’s 10-episode season 1 will coincide with the first few weeks ofStrange New Worldsseason 3, which premieres on July 17 on Paramount+.
IfRevivalproves to be a hit that lasts a few seasons on Syfy, it takes some of the sting out of the announcement thatStar Trek: Strange New Worldsis ending with season 5. Scrofano has amassed a solid and loyal fan base that has followed her sinceWynonna Earpand its follow-up,Wynonna Earp: Vengeance.Revivial’s strong start and Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score should help jumpstart it to become another mainstay for Syfy.
