Pushing Daisies - Summary and Information

This romantic drama shows us the strange world of a man, Ned, who can bring dead people back to life through the power of his touch. The people he touches, however, can only stay alive for one minute, and if they don't die again, someone else nearby will die. Ned decides to use his ability to solve crime. He and a local investigator, Emerson, bring murder victims back to life and find out who killed them, to cash in on case-solving rewards. But, when Ned brings an old crush back to life, and decides to let her live, things start to get complicated...

The show is created by Bryan Fuller, who has brought us sci-fi series such as Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me. The series is said to share some aspects of Fuller's previous shows, with quick witted comedy mixed with darker emotions and drama. The main plot about life and death is also akin to Dead Like Me.The show is still in pre-production, and will, if it is picked up, air on ABC.

Lee Pace will star as Ned and Chi McBride as his colleague Emerson. Anna Friel will star as Charlotte "Chuck" Charles, Kristin Chenoweth as Olive, Swoosie Kurtz as Lily and Ellen Green as a, so far, unnamed character. The cast will be joined by Jim Dale as the narrator. Lee Pace has previously worked with creator Bryan Fuller on Wonderfalls.
