“THE RISING”
Mondays (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) on The CW
THE RISING is the story of Neve Kelly (Clara Rugaard), who discovers that she is dead. Understandably, she’s scared and confused by this new (non) existence, but moreover, when she realizes she has been murdered, she’s furious. Determined to find her killer and get justice, she takes advantage of her new supernatural abilities to go where the police can’t and investigate her own death. In doing so, she uncovers deeply buried secrets and is forced to re-examine everything about her life and the people she cared about. With a distinctive tone and visual style, THE RISING is a story about love, justice and the cost of pursuing the truth in a world that wants to keep it hidden.
From Sky Studios, THE RISING is adapted from the Belgian crime thriller “Beau Séjour” and is written by Pete McTighe (“A Discovery of Witches,” “The Pact”) and Charlotte Wolf (“The Last Kingdom”). Serena Thompson (“Landscapers”) serves as executive producer for Sky Studios alongside Julian Stevens (“The Fall,” “Informer”) and Pete McTighe. Ed Lilly (“Industry”) is lead director.
