Uncanny, which had its successful first series on BBC Two and BBC iPlayer last year is set to return for a brand new series…
Hosted by writer and broadcaster Danny Robins, who returns with more spooky stories and paranormal investigations.
Danny Robins:
“Uncanny is coming back to haunt your screens again! I’ve been blown away and moved by the response to our first season, and I’m grateful to the BBC for supporting us in making something that feels really different I hope to anything else out there. It was a thrill to see fans of the podcast loving it, but also to welcome a whole new audience.
“What I love about Uncanny is that, whether you’re Team Believer, Team Sceptic or Team Not Sure, you can enjoy the mystery of these stories in your own way. I can’t wait to bring you another set of brand new cases to investigate. Get ready to meet some truly compelling witnesses telling you about some terrifyingly extraordinary events. But are they genuinely paranormal? Let’s see… but I can tell you they are definitely bloody scary.”
Dubbed ‘the scariest show on TV’, the format is based on the BBC Radio 4 podcast of the same name, will be investigating more real-life stories of seemingly supernatural encounters – experiences that appear to defy logical explanation. Danny will be once again be joined by sceptic Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe and Parapsychologist Evelyn Hollow, who provide expert analysis as the investigations unfold.
Once again, viewers will be invited to send in their own theories about the cases, or provide information that may move the investigations forward.
Alan Holland, Head of Specialist Factual Productions at BBC Studios:
“We’re thrilled to be making another series of Uncanny with Danny. We were absolutely blown away with the theories and interaction from viewers last series, and can’t wait to hear even more from them this time round. The direction of the series will be well and truly in their hands to influence!”
