Today, Apple TV+ announced the new, mind-bending Apple Original podcast “Extrasensory,” premiering 28 October. This eight-episode series, hosted by BAFTA and SAG Award winner Will Sharpe (“The White Lotus,” “Flowers”), tells the unbelievable true story of a family’s stunning secrets.
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.
“I found this story fascinating and hope the twists and turns will keep listeners guessing, as they did me,” said host Will Sharpe. “Even as we recorded, new discoveries were being made by the production team, so it was an exciting thing to be a part of. Blanchard House are podcast pros and it was a pleasure working with them on this complex psychological fable about reincarnation and much more.”
Apple TV+ subscribers can connect their subscription on Apple Podcasts and access all eight episodes of “Extrasensory” on 28 October on Apple Podcasts at apple.co/Extrasensory. Nonsubscribers can access the first two episodes of the eight-episode podcast, with remaining episodes releasing weekly until the finale on 9 December. “Extrasensory” is an Apple Original podcast produced by Blanchard House. “Extrasensory” is Blanchard House’s second Apple Original podcast, after the award-winning series “The Pirate of Prague.”
