In addition to rebooting Ghost Hunters, there’s more paranormal programming to anticipate from the A&E Network this year. They also greenlit four other shows, including:
-
- Psychic Kids
- Celebrity Ghost Stories
- Trey the Texas Medium (working title)
- World’s Biggest Ghost Hunt (working title)
Here’s a brief peek at each:
1. Psychic Kids – Premieres Wednesday, August 21 at 10pm ET/PT (immediately following Ghost Hunters)
Ten years ago, the series chronicled the journeys of children who were learning to control their extraordinary abilities – and it changed their lives.
In eight all new episodes, those original kids, who are now successful young adults, will work to empower a new generation of young psychics alongside trained licensed therapists. They will spend time with the children and their families to assist them in not only taking control of their paranormal abilities, but also showing them the remarkable power of their immense gifts.
2. Trey the Texas Medium (wt) – Premiere TBA
Trey Ganem is a successful businessman in Edna, Texas, who creates one-of-a-kind, custom caskets. While refining his skills as a master carpenter, Trey also cultivated his deeper talent of mediumship.
His special gift first manifested as a child, but was not encouraged by his parents. When Trey’s business brought him closer to those grappling with death, he realized his ability to speak to the dead could be put towards a higher purpose.
Using both of his talents, he brings messages of love that aid families in finding the closure needed to move forward.
The series has been greenlit for 12 episodes set to premiere this Fall.
3. Celebrity Ghost Stories – Premiere TBA
Paranormal storyteller and world-renowned psychic-medium Kim Russo of “The Haunting Of” fame has abilities that have only gotten stronger over time. She’s bringing some of the biggest names in entertainment back to the sites of their paranormal experiences for an unfiltered, and, in some cases, dangerous reunion with the ghosts of their past.
The series combines the thrill of ghost hunting with the emotion of psychic-medium readings to push the limits, showing a deeply raw and authentic side of some of America’s favorite celebrities.
The series has been greenlit for six episodes set to premiere this Fall.
4. World’s Biggest Ghost Hunt (wt) – Premiere TBA
World’s Biggest Ghost Hunt is the longest continuously filmed paranormal investigation in television history.
From 1908 to 1987, the 110-acre hospital had more than 10,000 residents, mostly children, confined in the most brutal conditions. Did those conditions contribute to the alleged paranormal activity? It’s not clear, but Pennhurst is known as one of the most haunted locations in the United States.
Recently, workers at the site have reported a sharp uptick in activity, including mysterious noises and voices while others claim they were physically attacked by spirits.
Determined to get to the bottom of these claims, the owner has granted unprecedented access to the entire property –including areas of the asylum that are closed to the public. A team of five paranormal investigators are locked inside the legendary Pennhurst Asylum in Pennsylvania for two weeks to document events.
The team will hunt the sprawling, spine-tingling property using their formidable skills and a wide array of top-notch tech gear. Will they capture paranormal activity? Will they uncover the Asylum’s darkest secrets and help determine why the paranormal activity is spiking?
The two-hour special is set to premiere this Fall. (Maybe in conjunction with the World’s Largest Ghost Hunt?)
Check-In
Which will you watch? Which are you most looking forward to?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, as well as obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of healing, to learn how she channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

I will probably watch them all. 😀
I will watch all of them but I am most looking forward to the 2-hour special filmed at Pennhurst and the return of Celebrity Ghost Stories with Kim Russo.
As a Portal Medium who is the only medium in the world who can SHOW the otherside and the spirit realm in film and photos, I will only watch Kim Russo. She is by far the best, the most real of all mediums.
