Genre: Reality

The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch

HISTORY has gained full, unprecedented access to one of the most infamous and secretive hotspots of paranormal and UFO-related activities on earth, Skinwalker Ranch.

Few have ever gained official access to Skinwalker Ranch, and none have ever been able to bring cameras onto the property for a television series, until now.

Anchored by never-before-seen footage of the ranch and what it contains, the series will feature a team of scientists and experts who will conduct a daring and thorough search of this infamous 512-acre property located in Utah's Uinta Basin in an attempt to find out the 'who?' 'what?' and 'why?' behind more than 200 years of UFO and paranormal related mysteries.

Utilising the latest in cutting edge technology from lasers and ground penetrating radars to drone thermography, rockets and more, the team will apply hard science and make shocking discoveries while going further and risking more than anyone has done on the ranch before.

Beginning in the 1950s, Skinwalker Ranch and the area around it has been referred to as 'UFO alley,' where numerous anomalous events and strange activity have received worldwide media attention.

Since then, the area has been the site of decades of study, some clandestinely funded by the government.

In 1996, the property was purchased by billionaire businessman and UFO enthusiast, Robert Bigelow, who used it to conduct his own experiments into the study of the ranch and its other-worldly connections.

Three years ago, the property was sold to another, mysterious owner who - for reasons of his own - has, for now, chosen to remain anonymous.

In Season 2 of this unorthodox mystery crime drama, star Jerry O'Connell reprises his role as Harley Carter, a former television detective who, having successfully charmed his way through solving real-life mystery cases, has returned to the scene of the crime as an official private detective this season.

Re-joining Carter on his new adventures are Kristian Bruun and Sydney Poitier Heartsong as Harley's childhood friends Dave Leigh and police detective Sam Shaw.

Together the trio taps into Harley's years of playing a fictional detective to uncover a new crop of crimes and culprits in the lakeside town of Bishop, Ontario, further proving that truth can be stranger than fiction.

Joining Carter this season is Lyriq Bent (The Affair) who stars as new police chief Joyce "Joy" Warwick Boyle, an NYPD transplant with a mysterious past and threat to Harley's love life.

In addition to Bent, guest stars include David Arquette (Scream) and Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway?).

In the Season 2 premiere, "Harley Wears a Wig": Harley takes on his first official case as a P.I. when Bishop local Neil Jacott (Colin Mochrie) asks him to help track down his missing wife – but things are not quite as they seem.

Joyce Boyle (Bent) arrives in town and takes over as the new chief of police for Bishop P.D., inspiring Sam's interest and Harley's suspicions.
