UK independent production company back2back Productions has received the greenlight for 20 hours of primetime programming, leading with eight-part series Unexplained: Caught on Camera.

Unexplained: Caught on Camera uses a clip-show format to explore creepy UGC footage, from poltergeist activity caught on mobile phones to ghostly apparitions appearing on CCTV systems and spooky creatures captured on car dash-cams. A team of paranormal experts will cast a critical eye over the footage and listen to the first-hand accounts of the people involved as they attempt to explain the unexplainable. Unexplained: Caught on Camera is represented globally by Canadian distributor Boat Rocker Media.

Leading British broadcaster UKTV has pre-invested in the series and the broadcaster has also ordered a second season of back2back’s 12-part paranormal series Help! My House is Haunted, an original format created by Zak Bagans featuring investigators Chris Fleming, Jayne Harris and Barri Ghai, who will look into incidences of paranormal activity in apparently ordinary UK homes. Both series will air on UKTV’s Really channel later this year.

David Notman-Watt, founder and managing director of back2back, will executive produce both series. “Everyone at back2back is hugely excited to be teaming up again with UKTV on two series that will challenge our perceptions and understanding of the paranormal world,” he remarked. “The success of the first series of Help! My House is Haunted proves that audiences everywhere love to be terrified and intrigued. The paranormal may be in otherworldly but its appeal is very real.”
