The Discovery Channel and the Vatican join forces to produce a show about historical possessions.
An upcoming cable program has resulted from the Discovery Channel and the Catholic Church associating to reconstruct cases of exorcism from the Vatican's records. The series will pair reenactments and interviews with rarely-heard-from adept exorcists. Though the first season will not feature the videotaping of actual, contemporary exorcisms, producers GoGo Luckey hope to move into "reality" territory if the series becomes a hit. The show is set to air in the spring - no specific date has been released.
Bunting says the investigators believe a demon can inhabit an inanimate object (like a home) or a person. The network executive says he was initially skeptical when first meeting the team but was won over after more than three hours of talks. “The work these folks do, and their conviction in their beliefs, make for fascinating stories,” Bunting says.
