As reported by TV Series Finale, Nick Frost shared on Instagram that 'Sadly, Truth Seekers will not be returning for a second season', adding that it is a massic kick for him in the 'willy'. He added that "We really put our all into this – our heart and soul, and blood in some cases, so do not come back is really sad for us. I think we had lots of lovely ghost stories to tell… stories that will remain now untold.”

The horror-comedy show also starred actors Malcolm McDowell as Richard, Samson Kayo as Elton, Emma D’Arcy as Astrid, and Susan Wokoma as Helen. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Saunders, and Serafinowicz executively produced Truth Seekers season 1 alongside actors Miles Ketley, Jim Field Smith, who also directed the series.
