Trailer For Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's Ghost Hunting Series TRUTH SEEKERS and Comic-Con@Home Virtual Panel
During the Comic-Con@Home virtual panel the first teaser trailer was revealed for Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s great-looking 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 sightings for their online channel.
During the panel, it’s explained that the series was inspired by X-Files, and Frost also explained that it came from their experiences of when they used to go out and actually do some ghost hunting on their own for fun. This is a subject matter that they’ve been wanting to play with for a long time and now they have finally been able to bring it to life.
The synopsis for the series reads:
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 will 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).
I love watching Pegg and Frost in the projects, and this is one that I’m especially excited for because I enjoy the supernatural ghost hunting stuff!
