Get ready to dive into more of The Holzier Files. The series has been renewed for a second season, which will air later this year. Viewers will see 13 more cases revisited from Holzer’s personal case files. The series, which aired weekly late last year, was a hit.
Travel Channel revealed more about the series and its renewal in a press release. Check that out below.
“Last year, exclusively and for the first-time ever, Travel Channel reopened the case files of America’s first ghost hunter, Hans Holzer, revealing the original recordings and documents from the paranormal pioneer’s renowned studies. Following a very successful first season of The Holzer Files – which pulled in more than 5.8 million viewers – Travel Channel has announced a second season pickup. The series will return in late 2020 with 13 brand new episodes.
“Viewers were fascinated to reopen these mysterious and harrowing cases through The Holzer Files,” said Travel Channel general manager Matthew Butler. “It really is a striking tribute to Hans Holzer himself – who would have turned 100 this week – to revisit more of his investigations and to honor his lifelong work and pioneering journey into the unknown.”
In The Holzer Files, a dedicated paranormal team – led by paranormal investigator Dave Schrader, psychic medium Cindy Kaza and equipment technician Shane Pittman – revisits Holzer’s most captivating cases. With the help of Holzer’s daughter, Alexandra Holzer, and researcher Gabe Roth, the team picks up where Holzer left off to re-examine the terrifying hauntings that he dedicated his life to researching.
Recognized as the “father of the paranormal,” Hans Holzer’s legendary four-decade exploration into disturbing hauntings like the Amityville Horror house, helped spawn legions of supernatural enthusiasts, more than 120 books and even inspired Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis to write Ghostbusters. In each hour-long episode, the team will cull through thousands of Holzer’s recently discovered documents, letters, photographs and chilling audio and visual recordings dating back to the 1950s. Using his findings, team members track down recent developments from each haunting and head back to the location to reinvestigate with a fresh perspective, harnessing their own research, skills and expertise.

What do you think? Did you watch season one of The Holzer Files? Will you watch more cases from the files of the ‘father of paranormal’ later this year?


Yes! Very happy to hear they are coming back! I enjoy the interesting cases of Han Holzers brought back to life. A great team consisting of Dave Schrader Cindy Kaza, Shane Pittman not to mention Alexandra Holzer. I would love to see more shows like this, Ghost Nation and Dead Files and fewer shows like Ghost Bait.
I truly enjoy this show with the investigating team. I’ve read many of Hanz Holzer’s books and I am glad they are following up on his cases. I look forward to the second season and hope to see a third.
I really enjoy this show. I’m glad to know that The Holzer Files have been renewed for another season. I hope it continues for as long as possib
Yes! A well done show, along with Holzers daughter makes it worth watching, recently they found the house claiming to be haunted by ocean born Mary was debunked, and the actual historical home found.
