"You know the stakes are much higher and things are much more dangerous, much more emotional. You know how are these people's relationships going to be affected? How are they affected emotionally? And once again you know for every answer you're going to have another two questions. So it's going to be a wild ride".
The drama, set in Arcadia, Missouri, follows a town where the dead come back to life. The show has garnered a large international fan base and airs in many countries, such as Canada, Spain, Australia, Italy, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Epps said.

"I mean that's great. You know it's been awesome and to me it just kind of it proved, you know, at least my initial theory that this was a concept that totally translates because we are all human beings. It doesn't matter what our belief is or what you're conditioned to believe, you know? Life and death is a real thing that connects us and we've all dealt with loss as individuals or as families. So our show sort of gives a person a floor to explore these big what ifs but in an entertaining way."
Based on the book "The Returned" by Jason Mott, "Resurrection" also stars Kurtwood Smith, Frances Fisher and Devin Kelley. It is produced by Brad Pitt's production company, Plan B Entertainment. Epps explains.

"Yeah, well B. I call him 'B' you know because I know him. B, me and B. No. I'm just joking. No it's just his company. It's those guys, Jeremy Kleiner and Sarah Esberg and Dede (Gardner). They, you know, they're smart. They got a great formula going and obviously successful in film and this is their first foray into television. So we're looking to keep rubbing that magic egg. You know keep the good fortune rolling our way."
The series' shroud of mystery and endless unanswered questions has drawn comparisons to ABC's hit drama "Lost," but Epps doesn't mind.

"Yeah, I don't quite get it, but I mean cool. 'Lost' was a success and people had a real reaction. That fan base was rabid. They would like love it one year and hate it the next and then love it. So I think just engaging your audience and having a core fan base is important. So if people want to compare it to lost it's all fine with me."
The new season is expected to continue the momentum.
For Studio+, this is Chi Huiguang.
