Rob Lowe and his sons Matthew and John Owen head out in search of ghosts, Bigfoot, and other things that go bump in the night in A&E’s new nonfiction series, The Lowe Files. The network’s just unveiled the first trailer for the series and confirmed The Lowe Files will debut on Wednesday, August 2, 2017 at 10pm ET/PT. Season one, which consists of nine episodes, is executive produced by Rob Lowe, Elaine Frontain Bryant, Amy Savitsky, Devon Hammonds, Tom Forman, Jon Beyer, Brad Bishop and Douglas McCallie. The series is an A&E Network and Critical Content production.
The Lowe Files follows Rob Lowe and his sons as they explore the country’s unsolved mysteries. Episode one will feature the Lowes visiting former boys reformatory Preston Castle in Ione, CA. The reformatory was built in the 1800s and is now a California Historical Landmark. Preston Castle closed down in 1960 and is reportedly haunted by angry spirits.
The Plot: In each episode of The Lowe Files, Rob, Matthew and John Owen seek out a mysterious story or spooky legend and immerse themselves in the exploration and debate of the experience. While fun in spirit, the Lowe’s are able to conduct deliberate and scientific investigations on a highly-sophisticated level by meeting with top experts, using high-tech monitoring equipment and taking in-depth training courses. Their many missions, which will take them across the county, include: exploring an alien base located 2,000 feet underwater off the coast of Malibu, CA; working with a renowned shaman at Preston Castle, an abandoned boys’ reformatory; and training with a top-secret government operative in methods of Remote Viewing, a challenge to identify images from great distances. But for Rob, the ultimate goal in this undertaking is to create lasting memories with his two beloved sons who are on the verge of adulthood with their own lives, careers and families ahead of them.
