EXCLUSIVE: More spooky times ahead in Canada, where Ghosting with Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan has been renewed at public broadcaster CBC.
The series, from Blue Ant Studios in association with Luke Hutchie Productions, follows amateur ghost wranglers and EZRA actors Hutchie and Finlan as they attempt to uncover the truth around local ghostlore around Canada, deliver verdicts of ‘haunted’ or ‘not haunted.’
Season two is now in production, with Hutchie and Finlan taking their journey on the road in a cross-country quest to explore some of Canada’s most haunted places in Ontario, British Columbia, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and the Yukon Territory. As with season one, they will be joined by celebrity guests.
Mitch Burman (Freak Encounters, Brother vs Brother) has joined as showrunner and series producer. A winter 2025 season launch has been slated on streaming service CBC Gem.
“Luke and Matthew bring a new twist to paranormal entertainment with their spirited and spooky investigations,” said Jennifer Dettman, Executive Director of Unscripted Content, CBC. “We look forward to seeing them explore ghostly mysteries in more Canadian communities as we expand the show, and travel it across the country in season two.”
“I am so excited to be working with CBC again on such an incredible show that not only highlights Canada in a new and unique way, but also celebrates Canadian talent,” said Hutchie, President of Luke Hutchie Productions. “I am so proud of the talent and locations we were able to showcase in season one and cannot wait to up the ante with a cross-country season two.”
Blue Ant Studios Co-President Matthew Homburg added there would be “a wider variety of locations across Canada with increased tension and scarier moments” in the second run, but that “the series will still maintain the humour and liveliness that Luke, Matthew and their celebrity friends bring to the show.”
Hutchie and Finlan are the creators, executive producers and stars of the show. Executive producers for Blue Ant Studios are Hornburg, Mark J.W. Bishop, Donna Luke and Jennifer Harkness.
Jonathan Jude is senior story producer for the season, Nikki Chow is the series director and Brooke Yerxa is the associate producer. For CBC, Sally Catto is General Manager, Entertainment, Factual & Sports; Dettman is Executive Director, Unscripted Content; and Susan Taylor is Executive in Charge of Production.
