Most people who get into the world of paranormal investigation get to choose their calling; just look at the Ghostbusters, or Will Smith in Men in Black, or Fox Mulder (not Scully, though, she got assigned to the X-Files so that wasn’t really much of a choice). They usually don’t get kidnapped into fighting ghosts and aliens without some kind of a warning. But then again, Ghosted, Fox’s new paranormal sitcom, does not seem like a usual kind of show.
A first-look trailer for the upcoming series premiered at the Fox Upfronts on May 15, and it already looks pretty dang hilarious. Check it out below:
Ghosted, which will air on Sunday nights during the 2017-2018 fall season, stars Parks and Recreation‘s Adam Scott and The Office and This is the End‘s Craig Robinson as two everyday guys who are shanghaied into working for a top secret organization called The Bureau Underground.
Robinson will be playing a former missing persons detective who’s skeptical about supernatural occurrences, and Scott’s character is the Mulder-style true believer who thinks his wife was abducted by aliens. The fact that he works at a bookstore and not for the FBI already makes this a much more believable show than The X-Files ever was. Hey, since Fox is also renewing X-Files again, think there’ll be a crossover?
Speaking of what you think, what do you make of this new trailer for Ghosted? Does it look like a hit or is it doomed to haunt the Sunday night line-up until it’s put to rest? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
