PASADENA, CALIF. (February 12, 2019) – Hauntings exist all over the world, but there are a few locations with sordid pasts and dark histories that are especially sinister and purported to be doorways to the spirit underworld. In Travel Channel’s new series, “Portals to Hell,” premiering on Friday, April 19 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, television personality and executive producer Jack Osbourne, and paranormal researcher and investigator Katrina Weidman, join forces to explore this phenomenon, investigating each haunted location in search of irrefutable evidence that a spirit world exists, and death is not the end.
In each of the eight hour-long episodes, Osbourne and Weidman dive headfirst into a different historical site, examining unusual incidents while utilizing specialized technology and a network of experts to help document and uncover the truth. The quest for answers takes the duo to New Orleans’ infamous LaLaurie Mansion – where they are the first and only paranormal team to ever investigate the disturbing hauntings within its walls. They also investigate legendary spooky spots including Bobby Mackey’s Music World in Kentucky, Eastern State Penitentiary in Pennsylvania, the Alaskan Hotel in Juneau, Ohio’s Twin City Opera House, Strawberry River Bed and Breakfast on the outskirts of Utah’s Skinwalker Ranch, Pennsylvania’s Emerald Hill Estate and the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia.
“I’ve been obsessed with the supernatural ever since I was a kid,” said Jack Osbourne. “I’m excited to team up with Katrina to investigate the darkest, most sinister places on earth. We’re walking headfirst into the heart of darkness – and we’re excited to take brave viewers with us.”
“For over a decade, my work in the paranormal field has brought me to the edge of the unknown,” said Katrina Weidman. “As we explore these disturbing locations, these potential portals, Jack and I are determined to document as much as we can to try and uncover the source of these hauntings.”
“Both Jack and Katrina have great instincts for investigating the paranormal, and their passion and expertise make them a fantastic addition to Travel Channel,” said Jane Latman, general manager of Travel Channel. “The show’s unique docu-style format immerses viewers in each investigation, allowing the audience to experience every goose bump, chill and unexpected surprise right alongside the team.”

What do you think? Are you interested in supernatural phenomena? Will you watch Portals to Hell?
The subject of show, Katrina is interesting and somewhat knowledgeable, but Jack has a lot to be desired… He seems sullen and sluggish with a attitude of no excitement or real interest in what he is being paid to deliver.
Please, please,please BRING BACK PORTALS TO HELL!!!
Is the show coming back on? I liked it.
What is wrong with you people? This show is one of the best Paranormal shows out there! I am bummed there are only 8 episodes in season 1 as I want more. Jack Osbourne does a very nice job and he makes me laugh at some of his actions when he gets scared . For the people who watch Ghost Adventures it has lousy acting and is so fonie. I can’t believe they are on season 19. I do have to admit one of the guys on there makes me laugh all the time as he gets scared on every… Read more »
I HATE this show!!! Jack is horrible he has no paranormal abilities he makes the show suck!!!!! I am a extreme pranks show watcher!! Lockdown with Nick was real and Nick was true paranormal investigator with abilities! Katrina is so so never really cared for her. I’m glad I’m not alone when I say this show had no real documentation and lacked evidence it was more talk of pure nothing and bull crap and Jack face!!!! Please do us all a favor and end this show and it’s misery!!!! If the travel channel wants viewers then be smart and find… Read more »
I really wanted to like the show and I’ve been watching every week… But honestly they don’t EVER get any REAL evidence! EVER!
BUT, Elaine White is really cute! They should show her more haha!
I completely agree with you I hate the show esp Jack!!!
I have been terribly disappointed with “Portals to Hell.” In “my opinion,” The Travel channel built it up WAY TOO MUCH!
Jack, doesn’t seem to have a clue and Katrina, while a brilliant investigator, seems afraid to speak up. Given that Jack’s family production Company is footing the bill, is it any wonder?
I predict there will be no Season 2….money or not. The viewers are dropping like flies, due to very little “discovery.”
Yes!!! You took the word right out my mouth Jack sucks and I hate the show!!!! It’s nice to see I’m not alone and wishing for it to die and be gone!!!!
With out Nick it sucks.
I could not agree more. This new show is awful
I agree!!!
With all the paranormal shows why doesn’t anyone ask about afterlife? Ask is there a heaven? What’s it like? No ask those questions.
Because the general assumption made by the paranormal community is that ghosts are either lost souls who can’t find that “place” they’re supposed to be or the activity is caused explicitly by past trauma which has literally charged the area where it happened causing a residual haunting.
I think it’s great…. Can’t wait for new show.
Will they be staying nites? Getting locked in? Will be watching… Or DVR… LOL.
Thanks… And GOODLUCK
what happened to nick and katrinas show?
Yeah what happened to Nick Rob and Katrina? Loved paranormal Lockdown
Unfortunately, the execs are idiots and cancelled PL. It’s painfully obvious why, Nick was smart and took the format he helped create with Ghost Adventures and took it further by actually staying there for more than 8 hours. GA is their biggest show and it brings in the viewers so Nick had to go. I’m sure Zak had something to do with it.
I can’t wait for the new show.
Oh goody, some more paranormal bull crap on “travel” channel.
