FIRST LOOKS/TRAILERS

Apple TV+ has unveiled a new Apple Original Podcast “Extrasensory.” Hosted by Will Sharpe (“The White Lotus,” “Flowers”), the eight-episode series premiers Oct. 28.

The official “Extrasensory” logline reads: “In 1950s England, milkman John Pollock made a shocking prophecy: his two daughters, who had passed away, would be reborn. While his wife initially dismisses him as a crank, she then gives birth to twin girls who display eerie similarities to their late sisters, and the world takes notice. Pollock’s claim draws the attention of an American scientist, who crosses the Atlantic multiple times over two decades to study the twins, and reaches a startling conclusion, what if death is only the beginning? ‘Extrasensory’ searches for the only two people who might know the truth—the twins themselves.”

“Extrasensory” is an Apple Original Podcast produced by Blanchard House.
