The trailer of the show looks set to be full of fun, action and supernatural beings. It begins with Simon who can be heard saying ominously: "Can you feel it? Ancient magic resides all around us.

"Ours is not the only universe, there are realms beyond it, underneath it, a myriad of parallel dimensions."

As the music starts and the trailer jumps between clips, fans are offered glimpses of their characters and some of the supernatural beings they come across along the way.

A voiceover then states: "We're on the cusp of something here,a gateway between worlds."

The actor wrote and produced the series alongside longtime collaborator Nick Frost.

Nick Frost revealed to Variety that: “It’s been nothing but a joyride in seeing this mad tale of paranormal conspiracy unfold in all its understated brilliance.

“Amazon’s commitment and support of the show, and of original programming generally, showed us that we couldn’t be collaborating with a bigger or better team.”

It will also be the first series the pair have acted in together since Space aired 19 years ago.
