FIRST LOOKS/TRAILERS
Apple TV+ has unveiled a new Apple Original Podcast ‘Extrasensory’. The eight-episode series, hosted by Will Sharpe (“The White Lotus,” “Flowers”), premieres October 28.
The official “extrasensory” log line reads: “In England in the 1950s, milkman John Pollock made a shocking prophecy: his two dead daughters would be reborn. While his wife initially dismisses him as an idiot, she gives birth to twins who bear uncanny similarities to their dead sisters, and the world takes notice. Pollock’s claim catches the attention of an American scientist, who crosses the Atlantic Ocean several times over the past twenty years to study the twins, and comes to a surprising conclusion: what if death is just the beginning? ‘Extrasensory’ searches for the only two people who could know the truth: the twins themselves.’
“Extrasensory” is an Apple Original Podcast produced by Blanchard House.
