From Bryan Fuller (Heroes) and Barry Sonnenfied (Men in Black) comes Pushing Daisies, the hit series starring Lee Pace and Anna Friel about a man who brings the dead back to life.

Featuring a blend of romance, fantasy and mystery, the golden globe-nominated series is narrated by Jim Dale and follows Ned (Pace), a young man with a special gift. As a boy, Ned discovered that he could briefly resurrect the dead with one touch. But his gift isn’t without deadly consequences, as he soon finds out.

The adult, pie-shop owning Ned puts his talent to good use by rejuvenating dead fruit, and at the same time giving it a delicious flavour. But his gift leaves him wary of becoming close to anyone, as beautiful waitress Olive (Kristin Chenoweth) finds out. His life gets more complicated, however, when private investigator Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) learns about Ned’s secret. Emerson convinces cash-strapped Ned to help him solve murder cases – and collect the hefty rewards – by raising corpses and getting them to name their killers.

Then Ned is handed the case that changes his life forever. his childhood sweetheart, Charlotte “Chuck” Charles (Anna Friel), has been murdered under mysterious circumstances. he returns to his hometown to bring Chuck fleetingly back to life and crack the crime. But, once reunited with Chuck, Ned can’t bring himself to send her back. He helps her escape after her grieving aunts think they’ve buried her.

Chuck becomes the third partner in Ned and Emerson’s private-investigation enterprise, but she encourages them to use Ned’s skills for good and not just for profit. Ned is overjoyed to be reunited with Chuck, the only girl he’s ever loved. Life would be perfect, except for one cruel twist – if he touches her again, she’ll die forever.
