History channel has commissioned the unscripted paranormal series Repossessed (pictured), set to make its market debut at MIPCOM through Corus Studios.

The 8 x 60-minute series is produced by Sphere Media (formerly BGM), with Andrea Griffith, Corinna Lehr and Marlo Miazga serving as executive producers. The series is shot across North America as a trio – paranormal investigator Moe Sargi, psychic medium Leitreanna Terry-Brown, and researcher Marika Simón – examine haunted objects at the behest of their troubled owners.

Repossessed has already been acquired by Hulu for the U.S. as part of Corus Studios’ continued output deal with the streamer.
