TV: A&E Call in the ‘Paranormal Cops’
A&E has expanded its slate of ghost-and-goblin-themed nonfiction series, greenlighting the skein “Paranormal Cops.” The series sounds pretty cool as it follows a team of Chicago-area police officers who work normal beats by day while investigating out-of-the-ordinary mysteries at night. Unfortunately, the series, which is produced by North South Prods., with Charlie Debevoise and Mark Hickman serving as exec producers, will complement returning skein “Paranormal State” on the A&E sked. If anything, the credibility behind the show has gone in the sh*tter as “Paranormal State” is laughable. But for those who believe it’s real, “Paranormal State,” which is produced by Four Seasons Prods. and Go Go Luckey Prods., will kick of its third seasons Jan. 19. That series chronicles the case files at Penn State’s Paranormal Research Society (where amazing things apparently happen in every episode, shyeah right).
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
