The Messengers is coming to The CW... eventually.

The drama is one of that network's four new shows for the 2014-2015 season, but it won't premiere until early in the new year.

Which is too bad - because it looks sort of awesome!

In the first teaser for The Messengers, we're told about five people who died and then mysteriously come back to life when some kind of object crashes to earth.

Who are these strangers? What important job are they tasked with? Watch the preview and get a look at stars Shantal VanSanten, Diogo Morgado, JD Pardo and Joel Courtney, among others:
