New Portals to Hell Episodes Get Discovery+ Premiere Date

A new episodes of Portals to Hell are on the way to discovery+, with the adventures of hosts Jack Osbourne and Katrina Weidman set to be unveiled on the streaming service beginning on March 20th. Despite the coronavirus pandemic shutting down a majority of movie and TV productions in 2020, the nature of Portals to Hell, which sees the hosts investigating the locations of seemingly haunted events, allowed progress on the series to be made relatively unabatedly. There are surely some theories that would even claim having fewer people entering any given location might stir up the supernatural in some ways. Check out the premiere of new Portals to Hell episodes on March 20th.

"Jack and I have investigated many places, but we were both taken aback by how complex and intelligent these hauntings seem to be," Weidman shared in a statement. "There were a number of times we really felt something was among us. It's scary, but as investigators, it gives us insight into the many layers of a haunting."

"This was one of the most mind-bending legs we've done," Osbourne added. "These places have such deep, dark hauntings and energy so intense and powerful that you can actually feel it throughout your entire body. When you physically experience the paranormal, it gives you a massive adrenaline rush, but it's also incredibly unsettling. There were moments when I just wanted to get the hell out of there."

Their chilling journey begins with a special two-hour investigation of an expansive Colorado ranch that was once home to vicious father-son serial killers, whose evil acts left a haunting imprint on the property. In 1983, the small town of Stratton, Colorado, was rocked when it was revealed that local resident Michael McCormick and his father, Tom, carried out a string of gruesome murders on the family farm. The duo had been killing for years, and while all the victims reportedly buried on the grounds have never been discovered, there are estimated to be as many as 17. Now, the farm's current owners are grappling with an uptick in intense paranormal activity that has left their family and employees fearful to even be there. In a television first, Osbourne and Weidman investigate the former McCormick property, attempting to uncover answers about its murderous past – and what it is they're facing now. Are these killers still stalking victims from beyond the grave? Or have their evil deeds opened up a true portal to hell?
