Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are starring in new series \'Truth Seekers\'.

The comedy duo - who co-wrote and starred in the \'Three Flavours Cornetto\' trilogy of movies, consisting of \'Shaun of the Dead\', \'Hot Fuzz\', and \'The World\'s End\' - are launching a brand-new horror-comedy show for Amazon Prime Video under the production company Stolen Picture, which they share with Miles Ketley.

The show will follow a team of part-time paranormal investigators with homemade ghost-detecting gizmos 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, 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, 49, insisted that he and Nick can\'t wait to return to the smaller screen - where the pair began their partnership with the Channel 4 sitcom \'Spaced\' - and feels the new show is set to be "something very special".

He said: "Nick and I are delighted that \'Truth Seekers\' has found a home with Amazon Prime Video.

"We\'re looking forward to working closely with them and creating something very special.

"These are truly exciting times for television and I can\'t think of a better partner than Amazon to accompany us on a return to the smaller screen."

Nick, 47, added: "Simon, Miles and I, and everyone at Stolen Picture, are incredibly happy to be making \'Truth Seekers\' with our new partners, Amazon Prime Video.

"It\'s been nothing but a joyride in seeing this mad tale of paranormal conspiracy unfold in all its understated brilliance.

"Amazon\'s commitment and support of the show and of original programming generally, showed us that we couldn\'t be collaborating with a bigger or better team."
