James Wan is coming up with a brand new series, True Haunting, which is a docuseries. Joining forces with Netflix after the success of The Conjuring and Insidious franchises, Wan’s latest work is a mix of real-life testimonies and fiction based on real traumatic supernatural events that people went through.
Unlike scripted shows, the docuseries will blend eyewitness accounts, dramatization, and investigative footage to explore such cases where people claimed to have encountered the paranormal. With Wan’s name attached to the project, expectations are running high.
When Will True Haunting Release?
With Halloween just around the corner, the highly anticipated project will arrive just in time for the spooky season. True Haunting will be released exclusively on Netflix on October 7, 2025.
Structured as a short docuseries split into two chilling storylines, Eerie Hall and This House Murdered Me. Available for streaming globally, these two arcs will be released together as part of the same season, making the series an easily bingeable yet spine-chilling watch.
True Haunting: Cast and Crew
As True Haunting is a docuseries, it isn’t built around a star-studded cast. Instead, it features several testimonies from actual people who have claimed to have undergone or experienced supernatural events.
Given that the docuseries will tell two different tales but under the same banner, the episodes for the two feature a different creative team. While James Wan is serving as the executive producer, here is the rundown for the two tales.
Eerie Hall will span three episodes and will be directed by Neil Rawles. This House Murdered Me will span two episodes and will be directed by Luke Watson.
This lineup blends seasoned documentarians with horror specialists, ensuring both authenticity and atmosphere.
What Is Netflix’s True Haunting About?
At its core, the upcoming docuseries is about fear made real. The docuseries takes infamous cases of hauntings and re-examines them with testimonies from those who lived through the events. It then layers dramatizations, archival evidence, and cinematic recreations to craft a horror-documentary hybrid.
In Eerie Hall, viewers can expect ghostly encounters in locations associated with dark histories, while in This House Murdered Me, we will get to see and hear the tale of an entire home seemingly cursed. Furthermore, James Wan’s involvement suggests the series will lean heavily into suspense and atmosphere, evoking the same dread his films are known for.
