TAPS is back and they have a new home. The Ghost Hunters reboot will start streaming on discovery+ on January 1.
Which we knew was coming. Earlier this year discovery+ announced it had greenlit a Ghost Hunters comeback.
However, what did that mean? Hadn’t A&E already resurrected the series with Grant at the helm? And what about the new show Jason and the rest of the OG GH crew had started, Ghost Nation? Was that done?
Well, now we have some answers.
About the Ghost Hunters Reboot
Original Ghost Hunters members Jason Hawes, Steve Gonsalves, and Dave Tango are back in the reboot of the Ghost Hunters series. Ghost Nation team member Shari DeBenedetti will also join them.
The team will 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.
Twelve all-new one-hour episodes will drop weekly.
New to the Ghost Hunters Reboot
The team will 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 who add their own points of view and prowess.
Even the rock legend Meat Loaf joins the TAPS team on an investigation of an old haunting that’s still scaring the local community!
Jason, Steve, and Tango Weigh In
“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.

Check-In
Which guest investigators would you like to see join the investigations if the Ghost Hunters reboot is renewed for a season 2?
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’d love to see more of Ami Bruni. She’s so passionate and expressive. And what is this about a castle in Virginia maybe visited by UFO’s?! I live in Virginia, but I didn’t know about this. Hmm, I wonder if it’s nearby…
I was wondering if you would spot that! Now I want to know how close it is to you too! VA is one of the states I have not yet made it to. You have SO much haunted history there! Add this castle to one of the places I’d like to see. But I hope it’s somewhere easily accessible for you. I’ll live vicariously through you!
