Earlier this year, we learned that “Ghost Hunters” was being rebooted with original TAPS team members Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves, Dave Tango, and Shari DeBenedetti. The reboot was initially slated to premiere this year, but we’ve now learned that the series will make its debut on its new home discovery+ on January 1.
In the series reboot, the original team reunites to revisit their most chilling cases and investigate disturbing new hauntings. Armed with state-of-the-art technology, their proven methodology, and special guest investigators, TAPS tackles disturbing paranormal activity head-on, leaving no stone unturned to reach the dead among the living.
The reboot of “Ghost Hunters” follows the team as they crisscross the country searching for answers in the nation’s most haunted locations, including the Old Joliet Prison in Joliet, Illinois; a haunted hotel with a dark past in Nebraska; a brewery in Pittsburgh; and a Virginia castle that might have visitors from outer space. Joining the core team are a host of experts from different paranormal backgrounds that add their own points of view and prowess to each unique case. Even the rock legend Meat Loaf joins the TAPS team to investigate an old haunting that is still scaring the local community.
“It’s such a great feeling doing what we love together as a team and under the show name that created a genre,” said Hawes. “Ghost Hunters is back with the names and faces you recognize, investigating some incredible locations with new equipment and in our style.”
“This whole new season of Ghost Hunters has some of the creepiest locations, best evidence, and familiar faces that the viewers will be excited to see,” said Tango. “I’m excited for everyone to get that classic Ghost Hunters nostalgia they’ve been missing, but in a whole, fresh new way.”
“We found ourselves in some truly frightening situations this season that helped us capture some of our best evidence to date,” added Gonsalves.
