Ghost Wars, a 13-episode supernatural horror series from Syfy, premiered in 2017 and ran until 2018. Starring Avan Jogia (Tut, Victorious), Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy, Bad Blood), and Luvia Petersen (Continuum, Arctic Air), the show takes place in a small isolated Alaskan town called Port Moore.
The plot of Ghost Wars revolves around a young man named Roman Mercer (Jogia) who possesses a unique ability to communicate with ghosts. Mercer is seen as an outcast in the town, which has a long history of paranormal occurrences. When a series of strange events begins to occur, including a sudden increase in ghost sightings and unexplained murders, Mercer teams up with local doctor Landis Barker (Petersen) to uncover the town's dark secrets.
As Mercer and Barker delve deeper into Port Moore's past, they discover that the town was built on ancient burial grounds, and that the spirits of the dead have been aggressively asserting their power over the living. However, this power struggle is not just between the living and the dead - there are also factions within the ghost community who have their own agendas, including that of a vengeful ghost named Valentina (played by Mexican actress and singer, Kandyse McClure).
Meanwhile, Port Moore's residents - including the town's reclusive mayor, Val (Coates) - are grappling with their own personal demons and struggles. As the supernatural events escalate, the town becomes increasingly isolated and cut off from the outside world, leaving Mercer and his new allies to battle the ghosts and attempt to prevent a devastating apocalypse.
Ghost Wars combines supernatural horror with elements of thriller and drama, and explores themes of identity, trauma, and human relationships. The show received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its unique premise and strong performances from the cast. The series was cancelled after one season, but has gained a cult following among fans of horror and the paranormal.
Ghost Wars is a series that ran for 1 seasons (13 episodes) between October 5, 2017 and on Syfy
