About this episode

The episode introduces a new series featuring Jacob Kane, a failing actor who takes on his deceased twin's life and becomes involved with a covert agency dealing with paranormal phenomena.

Introducing [REDACTED]; from Athan ( The Grotto ) and Jamie Petronis ( The Cellar Letters ) Following the death of his twin, failing actor Jacob Kane assumes his late-brother’s life in hopes of a fresh start. Instead of finding stability, Jacob finds himself working within The [REDACTED] Unit, a covert agency tasked with containing impossible creatures and phenomena. As he becomes entangled with paranormal forces and secret agendas, Jacob begins to discover a sense of belonging in a place he never expected. Equal parts horror and workplace satire, [REDACTED] takes inspiration from late 90s & early 2000s television like procedural monster-of-the-week shows X-files & Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the classic ensemble banter of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Psych.
