Simon Pegg, Nick Frost’s Truth Seekers cancelled after 1 season

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Just in time for Halloween last year, Amazon Prime Video brought us the first season of Truth Seekers (watch it HERE), a horror comedy series from Shaun of the Dead's Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Unfortunately, that season is all we're ever going to get of Truth Seekers. Frost took to Instagram to let his followers know 

Sadly, Truth Seekers will not be returning for a second season. Truth Seekers has not been renewed, which is a massive kick in the willy for me. We really put our all into this; our heart and soul, and blood in some cases, so to not come back is really sad for us. It's a shame. I think we had lots of lovely ghost stories to tell, stories that will remain now untold. If you liked the show, thank you, we really appreciate your support and stuff. And if you didn't, well, are you happy now? Hmm? Happy now?"

Truth Seekers consisted of eight half-hour episodes, which were directed by Jim Field Smith from scripts Pegg and Frost wrote with Nat Saunders and James Serafinowicz. 

Set in "a mysterious world filled with dread and just-out-of-sight monsters", the show mixed "the very funny with the very scary, in an exciting take on genre storytelling". It follows 

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.

Pegg and Frost were joined in the cast by Malcolm McDowell, Susan Wokoma, Samson Kayo, and Emma D'Arcy.
