Announced today, Discovery is launching their own streaming service titled Discovery+ on January 4, 2021, and available at launch will be a brand new special from Zak Bagans.

The “Ghost Adventures” star tweeted this afternoon, “Discovery is launching their streaming service #DiscoveryPlus on January 4th, where we will present a 2-hour special investigating the infamous Cecil Hotel where the mysterious death of Elisa Lam sent shockwaves throughout the world. Stream exclusively Jan 4th on #DiscoveryPlus.”

Weeks after being reported missing back in 2013, the body of Canadian student Elisa Lam was discovered inside a water tank atop the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. Security camera footage of Lam in the moments prior to her disappearance and mysterious death saw her behaving strangely; the footage went viral on the internet, and the case remains a haunting mystery.

Discovery+ will include more than 55,000 episodes across 2,000+ shows, including content from Discovery, Food Network, TLC, Animal Planet, A&E, Lifetime, Travel Channel and more.

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.

Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.

Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…

“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.

We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
