After killing off Jo and her mom (sigh, catch you later, Alona Tal) “Supernatural” is on a bit of a holding pattern for the next few episodes, including last week’s asylum-set filler. Until the show does rebound back to its main demon apocalypse storyline, there’s new “Supernatural” content to be found on the net in the form of 10, 3-minute webisodes based on the “Ghostfacers”. You remember the Ghostfacers, don’t you? Those “Ghost Hunters”-wannabes who the brothers Winchester ran across in year one, then again in year three? Well they’re back.
The original web series will star A.J. Buckley (“CSI: NY”), Travis Wester (“Bones”), Brittany Ishibashi (“Supernatural”) and Austin Basis (“Life Unexpected”), and will follow the Ghostfacers as they investigate various hauntings, presumably with comedic results. After all, the Ghostfacers themselves were originally created to parody all the ghost-chasing shows on TV, so there’s a good chance the web series will go for the laughs.
The web series will premiere on TheWB.com, and then later on the CW’s main website. Besides the episodes, fans will also get gag reels, behind-the-scenes videos, photo galleries and actor confessionals. Plus, Wonderland, the production company behind “Supernatural” and “Ghostfacers” has put up an official site dedicated to the series that will host more goodies.
Production has already begun, so expect the Ghostfacers to get in your face soon. The series’ first installments will have the bumbling ghost hunters investigating a theater believed to be haunted by the ghost of a young starlet (“Nip/Tuck” Kelly Carlson).
