‘Haunting’ BBC documentary with award-winning host returning to screens for spooky new series
GET ready for even more spooky investigations and stories full of paranormal activity.
The BBC show hosted by 48-year-old writer and comedy personality Danny Robins, will be getting a second series.
Uncanny was first broadcast on BBC Two that first made it to air in October 2023.
The show explores real-life stories of supernatural encounters, some of which go completely against logical explanation.
Celebrities have also taken part in the series as Jason Manford, 42, previously sat down with the award-winning presenter.
Larry Rickard, 48, created and starred in his own supernatural comedy series, Ghosts.
Whilst appearing on Uncanny, he also discussed his own real-life paranormal encounter.
Danny, will return to front the follow-up alongside a series of psychology experts.
Psychologist Dr Ciarán O’Keeffe, 53, and Parapsychologist Evelyn Hollow, 30, will once again provide expert analysis in the unfolding investigations.
Viewers will also be invited to send in their own opinions and theories about each individual case.
They are also encouraged to provide any information that may help with the investigations.
Speaking about being given the greenlight for a second series, Danny Robins gushed about working again with the BBC.
He admitted: “Uncanny is coming back to haunt your screens again!
“I’ve been blown away and moved by the response to our first season, and I’m grateful to the BBC for supporting us in making something that feels really different I hope to anything else out there.
“It was a thrill to see fans of the podcast loving it, but also to welcome a whole new audience.
“What I love about Uncanny is that, whether you’re Team Believer, Team Sceptic or Team Not Sure, you can enjoy the mystery of these stories in your own way.
“I can’t wait to bring you another set of brand new cases to investigate.”
He added: “Get ready to meet some truly compelling witnesses telling you about some terrifyingly extraordinary events.
“But are they genuinely paranormal? Let’s see… but I can tell you they are definitely bloody scary.”
Based on the Radio 4 series, the TV version was made by the specialist factual team at BBC Studios.
This was after the audio show featured the likes of Laura Whitmore, Mark Gatiss and David Baddiel.
