In the early 2000s, a number of TV networks aimed to cash in on the
burgeoning interest of paranormal reality shows, delivering audiences
all manner of otherworldly programming. Debuting on SciFi in 2004 was
Ghost Hunters, a series that depicted two plumbers who investigated
paranormal claims on their off time. One of the first programs of its
kind, the show quickly set the standard for paranormal programming,
ultimately earning multiple spinoff series and countless imitators. 15
years after its debut, the program will return with original star Grant
Wilson and an all-new group of investigators. Check out the first
trailer for the series above before it debuts on August 21st on A&E.

Per press release, "Fifteen years after introducing the world to the
field of authentic paranormal investigation, Ghost Hunters returns to
television on Wednesday, August 21st at 9 p.m. ET. The series that
terrified and captivated fans for 11 seasons will follow one of the
original team leaders, Grant Wilson, and his handpicked group of
professional ghost hunters as they use their decades of field
experience to investigate hauntings across the country. Engaging
forensic experts, historical records and the most innovative technology
available, the new squad will help everyday people who are struggling
with unexplained supernatural phenomena."

It adds, "The team is committed to discovering the truth to give relief
to those plagued by paranormal activity and will follow the evidence
they uncover wherever it may lead. The new crew working alongside Grant
includes paranormal investigators Daryl Marston, Kristen Luman, Brandon
Alvis, Mustafa Gatollari, Brian Murray and Richel Stratton. The series
reboot has been greenlit for 20 episodes."

The original series became one of SYFY's biggest hits, earning multiple
live broadcast events on Halloween night investigations. The series
chronicled the investigations of TAPS (The Atlantic Paranormal
Society), ultimately inspiring spinoffs Ghost Hunters International,
Ghost Hunters Academy, and UFO Hunters. Various cast members have
become seminal figures in the paranormal investigation community.

Wilson left the series in 2012 and briefly returned in 2014. Another
founder of TAPS and star of the series Jason Hawes announced ahead of
the show's final season that it was parting ways with SYFY. Sadly,
despite the fervent fandom of the series, behind-the-scenes
complications have resulted in the series being nearly impossible to
find on any streaming services or on physical media. Hopefully this
reboot of the series could lead to a more effective distribution model
that will allow fans to watch the original 11 seasons.

Tune in to the return of Ghost Hunters on August 21st on A&E.
