Unfortunately, <em>Revival<\/em> season 2 has not yet been greenlit, and the show seems in some danger of never returning. But now there\u2019s potentially great news about the series\u2019 future thanks to a big upgrade in its streaming home.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix is indeed the biggest streamer in the world, and the service has announced it will be hosting all ten episodes of <em>Revival <\/em>season 1 beginning August 24, 2026 (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreadcentral.com\/streaming-home-video\/583371\/revival-comes-back-to-life-on-netflix-this-august\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Dread Central<\/em><\/a>). Co-creator and showrunner Aaron B. Koontz remarked on the big opportunity his project has been given, saying, \u201c<em>We have always believed there is a much bigger audience out there for this show. The response from the people who found Revival on Peacock was incredible, but Netflix gives it an entirely new life<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Koontz\u2019s fellow co-creator and showrunner Luke Boyce laid out the stakes for <em>Revival <\/em>in even more direct terms, sending out the call to audiences to give their assistance in getting season 2 made. \u201c<em>There is a lot more story left to tell, so if horror fans want a second season, August 24 is the moment to watch it, finish it, and tell people about it<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Critics would seem to agree that <em>Revival <\/em>deserves a season 2, given season 1\u2019s 90% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The show actually went on to receive a little extra RT love, nabbing a Golden Tomato nomination for best horror series along with the likes of <em>Alien: Earth<\/em>, <em>The Last of Us<\/em>, <em>Dexter: Resurrection<\/em>, and <em>Stranger Things<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>ScreenRant\u2019s own <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/revival-tv-review\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Revival <\/em>review<\/a> gave the show plenty of praise as well, saying, \u201c<em>Yes, the show is a little rough around the edges, but things are off to a great start in season 1. If the series can maintain the balance of humor and mystery, it can create something great. The ability to pack in various storylines and bring them all back at the right moment for the greatest impact is great, and Revival deserves a chance to continue its story beyond season 1<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The chance of such a <strong><em>Revival <\/em><\/strong>continuation seems stronger with a big streamer picking up the show. <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/best-tv-shows-saved-by-netflix\/\" target=\"_blank\">Netflix indeed has a long track-record of saving series<\/a> that failed to be picked-up by their original networks, having kept the flame burning a little longer for shows as diverse as <em>Girls5Eva<\/em>, <em>Arrested Development<\/em>, <em>Lucifer<\/em>, <em>Manifest<\/em>, and <em>Cobra Kai<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card type-screen large\" data-show-streamrentbuy-links=\"true\" data-include-community-rating=\"true\" id=\"7f93-461f-a6e3f70deb00\">\n<div
