Cast revealed for Pegg & Frost sitcom Truth Seekers
The cast have been revealed for Truth Seekers, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's new sitcom for Amazon Prime Video.
Filming has just begun on the supernatural comedy series, which will be launched as an Amazon Original in 2020.
The horror comedy follows a team of part-time paranormal investigators who team up to uncover and film ghost sightings across the UK, sharing their adventures on an online channel for all to see.
However, as they stake out haunted churches, underground bunkers and abandoned hospitals with their array of homemade ghost-detecting gizmos, their supernatural experiences "grow more frequent, more terrifying and even deadly, as they begin to uncover a conspiracy that could bring about Armageddon for the entire human race."
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost play characters called Dave and Gus.
It's now been revealed that Samson Kayo will join them to play a character called Elton, Susan Wokoma is taking on the role of Helen, with Morgana Robinson as Janey, and Kevin Eldon as Jack.
A picture has also been released of Mighty Boosh star Julian Barratt in the role of Dr Peter Toynbee.
Veteran actor Malcolm McDowell will play Richard, Wanderlust's Emma D'Arcy is Astrid and Kate Nash will be Mary.
Producers say: "Set in a mysterious world filled with dread and just-out-of-sight monsters, Truth Seekers mixes the very funny with the very scary in an exciting take on genre storytelling from the minds that gave us Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, Sick Note and Paul."

My MCU X-Men Fancast
To be honest, I didn’t really plan on making an x-men fancast but after the Phase 4 casting announcements at SDCC, I figured why not and decided to fancast some of the X-Men characters
Note: These are just some of my picks on who I’d like, so please don’t @ me if you don’t like any of them of upset that some of your faves are missing(I wasn’t able to cast all of them cause there’s a lot and some are hard to cast)
Jensen Ackles or Ludi Lin as Scott Summers/Cyclops
Maggie Geha as Jean Grey/Phoenix
Joel Edgerton as Dr. Henry "Hank“ McCoy/Beast
Rami Malek as Warren Worthington III/Angel
Brandon Flynn as Bobby Drake/Iceman
Kiki Layne as Ororo Munroe/Storm
(Alternate picks: Aja Naomi King, Jade Eshete and DeWanda Wise)
Timothee Chalamet or Dev Patel as Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler
Danila Kozlovsky as Piotr ”Peter“ Nikolayevich Rasputin/Colossus
Natalia Dyer as Anna Marie/Rogue
(Edit: I am aware that the age gap between the picks for Rogue and Gambit is big, so an alternative for Rogue is Alexandra Daddario)
Michiel Huisman as Remy LeBeau/Gambit
Odeya Rush as Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat
Madison Hu as Jubilation Lee/Jubilee
Tetsuji Tamayama as Shiro Yoshida/Sunfire
Sonoya Mizuno as Elizabeth ”Betsy“ Braddock/Psylocke
Inbar Lavi or Angela Sarafyan as Raven Darkhölme/Mystique
Logan Miller as Mortimer Toynbee/Toad
Rosamund Pike as Emma Frost
And these are all my picks and before anyone asks, yes, I am aware that I left out some other characters. Most notably Wolverine, Professor X and Magneto. It’s not that I didn’t want to include them, it’s just that for me, they’re pretty hard to cast considering how hard it is to replace the likes of Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen as well as James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. I’m hoping that Marvel would surprise us on whoever they cast for those iconic characters including the ones shown up here.
