The trailer for Hulu’s new gay ghost hunting series Living for the Dead asks, “Why be normal when you can be paranormal?” Kristen Stewart serves as narrator and executive producer of the eight-episode docuseries premiering on Wednesday, October 18, 2023 on Hulu.
“It’s so cool and enlivening that me and my best friend CJ Romero had this funny idea and now it’s a show. It started as a bit of a hypothetical silly pipe dream, and now I am so proud to have shepherded something that is as moving and meaningful as it is truly a gay old time. Our cast makes me laugh and cry and they had the courage and heart to take us places I wouldn’t go by myself. And it’s a super cool maiden voyage for the company I’ve started with my partners Dylan Meyer and Maggie McLean. This is just the beginning for us and for Living for the Dead. We wanna one day have traipsed across the entire spooky ass country. Maybe the world!” stated Kristen Stewart.
Venues visited in the paranormal docuseries include a haunted clown hotel, Waverly Hills’ haunted house, and the Lemp Mansion in St. Louis, Missouri.
The series stars Alex Le May, Juju Bae, Ken Boggle, Logan Taylor, and Roz Hernandez. David Collins, Michael Williams, Rob Eric, Renata Lombardo, CJ Romero, and Elaine White serve as producers.
