Anyone familiar with the vast roster of paranormal investigation series out there knows that, while each series embarks on its own brand of research, it can be easy to mistake one series for another. With the upcoming Hulu series Living for the Dead, however, you’re not likely to confuse any of its hosts for any other type of series, as the series itself isn’t ashamed to lean into some of the inherent silliness of attempting to uncover whether there’s life after death. The all-new series has just earned its first trailer, which you can check out below before Living for the Dead premieres on Hulu on October 18th.
The series is described, “From the creators of Queer Eye, five fabulous, queer ghost hunters criss-cross the country, helping the living by healing the dead. As they explore some of the world’s most infamous haunted locations, they’ll shed light on those not seen and illuminate untold stories. Together they’ll push past boundaries to bring acceptance to the misunderstood — living and dead. This is Living for the Dead, Ghost Hunties!”
The series stars Alex Le May, Juju Bae, Ken Boggle, Logan Taylor, and Roz Hernandez and was developed by Kristen Stewart, who also narrates the series.
“It’s so cool and enlivening that me and my best friend CJ Romero had this funny idea and now it’s a show,” Stewart shared in a statement. “It started as a bit of a hypothetical silly pipe dream and now I am so proud to have shepherded something that is as moving and meaningful as it is truly a gay old time. Our cast makes me laugh and cry and they had the courage and heart to take us places I wouldn’t go by myself. And it’s a super cool maiden voyage for the company I’ve started with my partners Dylan Meyer and Maggie McLean. This is just the beginning for us and for Living for the Dead. We wanna one day have traipsed across the entire spooky-ass country. Maybe the world!”
The episode descriptions are as follows:
“Rainbows and Clowns”
“A Spookiki with the Dead”
“A Haunted Gaycation”
“Dying for Hallow-Kween”
