back2back & UKTV Align for Unexplained: Caught on Camera

UKTV has pre-invested in the eight-part paranormal activity series Unexplained: Caught on Camera from back2back Productions, a Brighton-based independent production company.

Further, back2back’s 12-part paranormal series Help! My House is Haunted has received a second season order from UKTV. David Notman-Watt, back2back’s founder and managing director, will executive produce both Help! My House is Haunted and Unexplained: Caught on Camera. UKTV will broadcast the series on its Really channel later this year.

Unexplained: Caught on Camera explores UGC (user-generated content) footage that includes poltergeist activity and ghostly apparitions captured on cell phones, CCTV systems and car dash-cams. The footage is examined by a team of paranormal experts, who listen to the first-hand accounts of the people who caught the unexplained phenomena on camera. Canada’s Boat Rocker Media represents the series globally.

An original format created by Zak Bagans, Help! My House is Haunted’s second season will feature expert investigators Chris Fleming, Jayne Harris and Barri Ghai as they look into incidences of paranormal activity in U.K. homes. Using historical research, experience and specialist equipment, they attempt to find answers and solutions for the homeowners. MY Entertainment’s Michael Yudin executive produces.

Notman-Watt said: “Everyone at back2back is hugely excited to be teaming up again with UKTV on two series that will challenge our perceptions and understanding of the paranormal world. The success of the first season of Help! My House is Haunted proves that audiences everywhere love to be terrified and intrigued. The paranormal may be otherworldly but its appeal is very real.”
