If you were hoping you’d ever see a crossover event between Marvel’s Daredevil and Sons of Anarchy, you shouldn’t hold your breath, but if you wanted to see some of those series’ most compelling actors come together to fight ghosts, you’re in luck. Vincent D’Onofrio and Kim Coates have been cast in the new Syfy series Ghost Wars, a paranormal action series.

Simon Barry (Continuum, Van Helsing) created the series, in which he serves as showrunner.
Avan Jogia, Kristin Lehman, and Meatloaf also star in the 13-episode series. Production is currently underway in Vancouver.
The show’s synopsis is as follows:
“Set in a remote Alaskan town that has been overrun by paranormal forces, the series focuses on local outcast Roman Mercer (Jogia) who must overcome the town’s prejudices and his own personal demons if he’s to harness his repressed psychic powers and save everyone from the mass haunting that’s threatening to destroy them all.”
Of the series, Barry explains, “Ghost Wars is not just a contemporary homage to classic psychological horror, it’s also an opportunity to tell stories about human politics and how we shape our beliefs and lives based on our individual perspectives and biases.”
The creator adds, “Science, Humanism, Religion and the Paranormal all get a seat at the table. I’m grateful that Chad Oakes and Mike Frislev have assembled such a wealth of talent, both in front of and behind the camera, to hopefully elevate this genre series beyond expectations.”
Much like Syfy’s Van Helsing, the series will premiere on the channel in the U.S. with other countries having access on Netflix.
