When will Truth Seekers be on Amazon Prime?

Is there a trailer?
Yes there is. It begins rather ominously: “Can you feel it? Ancient magic resides all around us. Ours is not the only universe. There are realms beyond it. Underneath it, a myriad of parallel dimensions.”
Is Truth Seekers a true story?
Sort of. Frost and Pegg have revealed that they did actually go ghost hunting together when they were young and thought their escapades would make a great show. Whether they saw any ghosts on their adventures remains unclear.
