Under the Radar: SurrealEstate

Following a real estate agency Roman Agency, this real estate not only lists houses but also cleanses them of negative entities, spirits, and monsters.

SyFy aired this series in 2021 and unfortunately canceled it after one season. Or so it was thought, SurrealEstate was resurrected in May 2022, and it was un-canceled and green-lit for a second season, which will air sometime in 2023.

SPOILERS, obviously.

THINGS THAT GO BUMP

Luke Roman (Tim Rozon) is the boss of a particular real estate business, The Roman Agency. Not only do these agents sell houses, but they also deal with the beyond. The Roman Agency specializes in selling and helping those unable to sell their houses without a much-needed cleanse.

The Agency is small but close-knit and scrappy. It consists of Luke, boss man extraordinaire, Father Phil Orley (Adam Korson) a lapsed priest, August “Auggie” Ripley (Maurice Dean Wint) the tech king, Zoey L’Enfant (Savannah Basley) the office manager, and new-comer Susan Ireland (Sarah Levy). Susan originally came from another estate agency, and unfortunately, is a fish out of the water with this new group of agents. She is kept in the dark about the Agency’s specialties, but does know it by reputation.

Luke and Susan take on their first job together at the Lenore household, who are at their wits’ end with objects randomly flying around their house. Believing that the house is haunted by a poltergeist, they send in Auggie and Phil, who reveal that all their tests come up negative. As things escalate at the Lenore house, Luke has taken a special interest in another holding, the Donovan household.

The Donovan house is special and immensely haunted. Off-the-charts metaphysical disturbances plague the house, and its current occupant, Meghan (Tennille Read).

As The Roman Agency fights demons, ghosts, and possessed houses, the Donovan house makes reoccurring appearances because of the sentimental attachment it has to Luke. Years previously, Luke’s mother went into the house and never left. Luke has seen her ghost several times lingering in the house, and she is not a nice person. But Luke’s father (also a ghost) says that she was a sweet and kind person, but didn’t seem like she could handle Luke’s gift of seeing the other side. Leaving him and his father behind years before.

The season comes to a head at the Donovan house, which has been gaining strength steadily thanks to the misguided attempts by the Roman Agency. The portal in the house, which they thought allowed ghosts and spirits in, actually allowed them to cross over. Because they closed the portal in episode one, all of these ghosts and spirits haunted the house in agony, unable to leave. The house was able to make a personified incarnation of itself thanks to the lost souls stuck within its walls. Auggie, Zooey, Susan, and Phil all encounter lost loved ones, a wife, a mentor, a father, and an ill-fated sweetheart. Luke also sees his mother, or rather his sister.

Luke was a twin, and the woman he believed to be his mother, is actually his sister who lost her life when Luke’s umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. Because she died during Luke’s birth, his abilities came from being born in the shadow of death. His twin wants to switch places with him, and the only way for that to be achieved is that he dies. As she strangles Luke, in the basement, the crew is able to open the portal and all the trapped souls are sucked into it, including Luke’s sister.

The Donovan house is purged of its ghosts, and the crew stumbles outside, grateful to be alive. However, Luke distances himself from everyone. Why? He’s lost his ability to hear and see the spirits that had attached themselves to him since he was a child.

RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE

The paranormal drama was canceled originally. Ratings and viewership seemed to have been the main reason for its cancellation. George R. Olson, the creator of SurrealEstate, tweeted in October 2021 the unfortunate news that SyFy wouldn’t be moving forward with a season 2, but to not give up hope and they were looking for a new home for the paranormal procedure.

Hulu began streaming season 1 of SurrealEstate starting October 6 and it was revealed on May 2022 that SyFy had decided against officially canceling SurrealEstate when it talked about new and returning series in an article.

CONCLUSION

I rate SurrealEstate 3.9/5, I’ve loved Tim Rozon since his days on Wynonna Earp as the immortal gunslinger Doc Holliday, which was also unfortunately canceled after its fourth season by SyFy. No worries, Melanie Scrofano (Wynonna) guest starred in episode three and played a fanatic homeowner trying to sell her cottage (such a fun episode).

SurrealEstate is character-driven, and with a heavy-hitting cast, the characters are believable and loveable. Even with the extra bits thrown in (Roman’s ability to see ghosts, and Ireland’s telekinesis and pyrokinesis) and the haunted houses, the heart is still there and beating strong. It was sad that at first it looked like we would be leaving on such a cliffhanger, with Luke losing his powers and knowing his mother was alive somewhere.

SurrealEstate is ALIVE and will be airing on SyFy sometime in late 2023. As of October 12th, you can catch up on season one on Hulu.

The Surrealtor: Syfy Supernatural Series to Star Wynonna Earp’s Tim Rozon

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

While the concept of new scripted shows may already feel like a bygone idea in this era of pandemic-frozen productions, Syfy is actually moving forward with one such offering in The Surrealtor. Moreover, the main cast of the series has been officially announced, with a headliner familiar to viewers of the channel in Wynonna Earp’s Tim Rozon.

The Surrealtor, which landed a 10-episode series order back in February—alongside its touted Day of the Dead series—signals momentum with the announcement of its main cast players. The series puts a fixer-upper spin on the Ghostbusters paranormal exterminator dynamic, showcasing the exploits of realtor Nick Roman (Rozon), who leads an elite team who specialize in dealing with property-polluting poltergeists, fixing the things that go bump in the night so that deals can be closed, all while struggling with personal demons of their own.

The Syfy series, a production of Blue Ice Pictures, has tapped a relative newcomer to steer its ship, with George Olson set to serve as showrunner and executive producer. Olson, who developed the series, will work alongside executive producers Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron, Armand Leo and Danishka Esterhazy.

Tim Rozon’s Nick Roman is described by Syfy as “the owner of The Roman Agency, his eponymous real estate firm specializing in ‘metaphysically engaged’ properties. He has gained a whispered reputation as someone who could sell the haunted houses that nobody else could.” He is joined by a skeptical foil played by Sarah Levy (Schitt’s Creek) as Susan Ireland, a character described as “an enormously successful realtor. She is a realist who doesn’t believe in ghosts or hauntings.”

The rest of The Surrealtor’s announced cast sextet consists of Adam Corson (Seed) as “research specialist” Father Phil Orley, Maurice Dean Wint (The Kid Detective) as “technology specialist” August Ripley, Savanna Basley (Wynonna Earp) as “office manager” Zooey L’Enfant and Tennille Read (Workin’ Moms) as Megan Donovan. Interestingly, Read’s Donovan seems to be a plot catalyst, since the character, a medical student, is described has having recently inherited a house from her grandfather, and—while dealing with school stress and relationship issues—is looking to sell the home; a task likely requiring the services of The Roman Agency. Thus, we might just have our proverbial Dana Barrett here.

While the casting of Rozon for The Surrealtor’s starring role may be auspicious for the actor, it does raise questions for the status of his current Syfy series platform as Doc Holliday on Wynonna Earp, which had a long, delays-dealt road toward its current Season 4 run, resulting in the series being forced to skip 2019 altogether. During that time, Rozon co-starred on CBC drama series Diggstown and Syfy comic book adaptation series Vagrant Queen, with the former set for a third season, and the latter canceled this past June after an unceremonious spring run. However, with Rozon stepping up as headliner here, a successful run with The Surrealtor might not bode well for the embattled Wynonna Earp’s Season 5 chances; a shame, since it enjoys a strong fanbase.

The Surrealtor doesn’t have a release date to cite, but the series is solidly scheduled to start production on the Canadian island province of Newfoundland on September 15.
