Amazon Prime Video just debuted the official teaser trailer for “Truth Seekers” today, a half-hour, horror-comedy TV series about a three-person paranormal investigation team.
What’s notable about this particular riff on “The X-Files,” of course, is that the series stars both Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, the beloved duo from the “Cornetto Trilogy.” And while the marketing materials thus far, this teaser included, seem to suggest that the series is more of a solo spotlight for Frost, we’ve gotta believe they’ll be sharing the screen from time to time.
Find the plot synopsis below, along with the teaser.
“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.
