Rueben's Ramblings

The new ABC drama Resurrection will debut on March 9 at 9 PM

The people of Arcadia, Missouri are forever changed when their deceased loved ones suddenly start to reappear. An 8-year-old American boy (Landon Gimenez) wakes up alone in a rice paddy in a rural Chinese province with no idea how he got there. Details start to emerge when the boy, who calls himself Jacob, recalls that his hometown is Arcadia, and an Immigration agent, J. Martin Bellamy (Omar Epps from House), takes him there. The home he claims as his own is occupied by an elderly couple, Henry (Kurtwood Smith from That 70’s Show) and Lucille Langston (Frances Fisher from Eureka), who lost their son, Jacob, more than 30 years ago. While they look different, young Jacob recognizes them as his parents. Those closest to the family try to unravel this impossible mystery, including Sheriff Fred Langston (Matt Craven from NCIS), whose wife Barbara, drowned 30 years ago while trying to save Jacob. But this boy, who claims to be the deceased Jacob, knows secrets about his own death that no one else knows — secrets that Fred’s daughter, Maggie Langston (Devin Kelly from The Chicago Code), will begin to investigate and discover to be true.

The cast also includes Samaire Armstrong (The O.C.) and Mark Hildreth (V).
