Truth Seekers: Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to star in first TV series together since Spaced

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are set to star in their first TV series together since Spaced aired 18 years ago.

Truth Seekers is an Amazon Prime comedy-horror series about paranormal investigators which will star Frost as Gus, one half of a ghost-hunting duo who join forces to uncover and film paranormal sightings across the UK.

Pegg, meanwhile, will play a mysterious character named Dave, about whom little is currently known.

Frost and Pegg are also co-writing the series with Nat Saunders and James Serafinowicz.

According to a report in Variety, the show will see the pair “stake out haunted churches, underground bunkers, and abandoned hospitals using an array of homemade ghost-detecting gizmos and share their adventures on an online channel”.

Pegg and Frost are known for their on-screen collaborations in Spaced as well as movies including Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End.

Production on the eight-part series starts in September.
