Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Team Up to Hunt Ghosts in First Look at TRUTH SEEKERS
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have teamed back up for a new Amazon series titled Truth Seekers. The show is a horror-comedy that follows a couple of misfit ghost hunters who are on a journey to uncover and document ghost sighting for their online channel.
We’ve got our first look at the series thanks to some photos that have been shared, and here’s the synopsis for it:
Truth Seekers is a horror comedy series about a team of part-time paranormal investigators who team up to uncover and film ghost sightings across the UK, sharing their adventures on an online channel for all to see. However, as they stake out haunted churches, underground bunkers and abandoned hospitals with their array of homemade ghost-detecting gizmos, their supernatural experiences grow more frequent, more terrifying and even deadly, as they begin to uncover a conspiracy that could bring about Armageddon for the entire human race.
Set in a mysterious world filled with dread and just-out-of-sight monsters, Truth Seekers mixes the very funny with the very scary in an exciting take on genre storytelling, and stars Nick Frost as Gus, Simon Pegg as Dave, Samson Kayo as Elton, Malcolm McDowell as Richard, Emma D’Arcy as Astrid, and Susan Wokoma as Helen.
The series will consist of eight 30 minute episodes, and Pegg and Frost co-wrote the series with Nat Saunders and James Serafinowicz, who executive produce. Jim Field Smith will direct, and it also costars Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange), Emma D’Arcy (Hanna), Samson Kayo (Dolittle), and Susan Wokoma (Year of the Rabbit).
It’s always a joy to see Pegg and Frost work together on a project, and this is going to be a super fun project that I know I’ll enjoy.
