'The Osbournes Want To Believe' Coming To The UK This Halloween
This article is more than four years old and was last updated in April 2022.
Ghost hunter Jack Osbourne, who's a familiar face on Really, brings his new paranormal series to viewers in the UK. 'The Osbournes Want To Believe' will air as part of Really channel's annual #13NightsOfFrights schedule of programming in the run up to Halloween 2020.
The first episode will be shown on Monday, October 19 and will show over consecutive nights before Halloween. Jack roped his legendary parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, into appearing alongside him in the series as he tries to convince them that ghosts exist.
The "caught on camera" show follows hot on the heels of 'Watching With The Osbournes' which was shot during the coronavirus lockdown and saw Jack getting his parents to watch an episode of his ghost hunting show, 'Portals To Hell'.
They might be known as the first family of darkness, but when it comes to the paranormal, legendary rocker Ozzy and his wife, 'The Talk' co-host Sharon, were left unconvinced after watching their son with his on screen co-host Katrina Weidman.
Jack has now taken it upon himself to convert them into full-fledged paranormal believers in a new eight-part series. Jack reunites with Ozzy and Sharon to share the craziest, most jaw-dropping videos of supernatural activity ever caught on camera. But the question still remains if the Prince and Princess of Darkness will see the light when it comes to the paranormal, or if they think it’s just another ride on the crazy train.
"My parents have always lived on the edge, even when it comes to believing in the supernatural," said Jack. "I'm convinced they just haven’t seen enough evidence, so I'm making them watch the most undeniable footage caught on camera, including a few from my own personal experiences. My biggest challenge may be keeping their comments family friendly. It will be a classic Osbourne gathering."
During each hour-long episode, Jack will reveal a series of mind-blowing paranormal clips from the great beyond for his parents, Ozzy and Sharon, to witness. From Bigfoot to UFOs, poltergeists, creepy dolls and unexplained apparitions, the couple will review – and critique – each caught-on-camera moment, a compilation of Jack's favourite pieces of evidence. Not ones to shy away from honesty and humour, there’s no shortage of fun, antics and lively commentary in the Osbourne screening room.
In the series premiere, Jack shares video footage of poltergeists, haunted dolls, UFOs and unidentifiable beasts that leaves Sharon and Ozzy – and their dogs – barking at the moon. Their outrageously funny reactions include Sharon’s love for 'Harry & The Hendersons', Ozzy’s historical digressions on Greeks, Romans and the berserkers and a copious amount of swearing – another day with the First Family of Darkness.
Really have also announced that their Halloween offering will include Zak Bagans and the 'Ghost Adventures' team's Halloween special, 'Curse Of Harrisville Farmhouse'. The two-hour special aired in the US last year, but has not yet been shown in the UK.
And there's more good news for 'Ghost Adventures' fans this Halloween as the spin-off series 'Screaming Room' will also air as part of 13 Nights Of Frights. The spin-off series features the team reliving some of the most terrifying, shocking and even comedic moments.
Really will also air a two-hour special that explores the real story behind husband-and-wife paranormal investigation team, Ed and Lorraine Warren, who over the course of their 50-year career investigated thousands of hauntings.
'Devil’s Road: The True Story Of Ed & Lorraine Warren' features interviews with their daughter and son-in-law, Judy and Tony Spera, who share never-before-broadcast audio of Ed conducting interviews for the Bridgeport, Connecticut, poltergeist case, and rare video of the Warrens helping a young woman coming under demonic possession.
Also look out for 'My Paranormal Nightmare' which features real witnesses recounting terrifying true tales of violent hauntings that have plagued their nightmares since childhood. Now adults, they go back in time to the horrific encounters with compelling first-person testimonies.
#13NightsOfFrights starts on Monday, October 19, kicking off with 'The Osbournes Want To Believe' and running up to and including a night of special programming on Halloween night itself.
The Really channel broadcasts in the United Kingdom and Ireland as part of the Discovery family of channels. You can watch Really on Freeview (17), Sky (142), Virgin Media (129) and Freesat (160), plus YouView, BT TV and TalkTalk TV. Or watch previous episodes on demand on dplay.
