The streaming service has released a new trailer for its upcoming documentary series 'Surviving Death'.

It's one of the most widely debated mysteries of all time and a subject that has perplexed scientists and philosophers alike for millennia - what happens to us when we die ?

Now a new series on Netflix, which premieres on January 6th, will try to answer this question by exploring the idea that life may continue - at least in some form - after death.

Entitled Surviving Death, the six-part series features one episode on the general concept of life after death, two episodes on the history and methods of psychic mediums, two more on the ways the dead might communicate with the living and the last on real-world stories of reincarnation.

"What does it mean to die, and is death the end of our existence ?" the official synopsis reads.

"Weaving together innovative new research with firsthand accounts from those who've been close to - and even experienced - death, this series takes viewers on an extraordinary journey into a world beyond human existence as we know it."

You can check out a trailer for the new series below.

I am a Hospice caregiver, while walking the journey of death with anyone is an incredible honor and incredibly interesting, and profound there is no reason to conclude that there is�anything conscious�beyond biological death. I have a good friend as we speak in hospice now and we talk daily�and the concerns are more about the life she led and how grateful she is for it and how freeing it is to choose her own experience for the end. Meaning, it is her show and she gets to decide what she really wants and it isn�t more life or suffering.�In fact, the souls I�have had the honor of being their car... [More]

Thank you for that. If you wouldn't mind, type life after death experiences of hospice workers, and carers(volunteer sitters) into your browser. There are lectures, testimonials, and experiences, of not just�just hospice workers or carers, but the�hospice doctors themselves. Take notes, and look for matching data. After all what is science if not collecting data. You may be surprised at the results. I do not doubt your experiences, but it takes much more than one data set to come to a conclusion. Again, thats science. I did not take this journey with a slack jawed acceptance of everything I re... [More]

I really think that this could be an awesome philosophy discussion on this subject. This is the tab for it after all. Not to mention the subject is becoming�more mainstream every day.

I have been on many hospice jobs Hanken, my two cents is not more worthy then yours, and thank you for your grace and kindness. I responded with a different �perspective only and thank you for listening. And, sharing, there is no right or wrong jsut two people talking. All the best. I have looked into the life after death and been a witness biological death is the end, but one can certainly hope for more. All the best dear Hanken.�

Sean is a lucky man. Or, he's just like you. Perhaps we'll meet on the other side , if there is one, and share a laugh.�

It was interesting series fo sure. Watched the whole thing in one night. The parts about mediums were plain stupid though.�
