Kew Media Group Lands Presales for Haunted Hospitals

Kew Media Group has presold the paranormal series Haunted Hospitals, which comes from Julie Bristow’s Bristow Global Media (BGM), to Discovery’s Quest Red in the U.K. and Ireland.

The 13×1-hour series is produced by BGM and commissioned by Blue Ant Media for its T+E channel in Canada. Quest Red will bring the show—which tells stories of supernatural activity inside hospitals, nursing homes, morgues and mental institutions—to British and Irish audiences on the free-to-air entertainment channel later this year.

Jamie Watkins, acquisitions manager at Discovery U.K. and Ireland, said, “Paranormal happenings are a universal topic of fascination for all of us, and that, coupled with Bristow Global Media’s pedigree in producing premium nonfiction series, is sure to hold huge appeal for our viewers in the U.K. who are constantly searching out eye-opening, jaw-dropping content.”

Stephen Joy, VP of sales, distribution at Kew Media Group, added, “We’re all familiar with that inevitable feeling we get walking into a hospital, but this show shines a spotlight on the reasons why. Chilling, uncomfortable and spookily relatable—I have no doubt this series is going to strike a chord with U.K. viewers.”
