Tonight, ABC's perplexing new series The River premieres at 9 p.m. ET/PT, but you may still be scratching your head and wondering "What is this mysterious show in the jungle really about?" The information swirling around is limited, but Paranormal Activity director/writer Oren Peli's name is the biggest draw presented by the alphabet network. Boasting a creator like Peli certainly adds allure, but there are so many other pieces to this puzzle. Luckily for you, ABC has just released a featurette complete with cast interviews to help set up the scenario for you. We learn about our protagonists' search through the jungle for a lost scientist and how the found-footage style helps tell this story.
The River premires Feb. 7 on ABC, will you be tuning in?
