NYCC 2020 Truth Seekers: A deeper dive into the character of Elton

Samson Kayo gives us some background about his character Elton. Samson told IGN that Elton and his sister, Helen, have a traumatic background. When Elton goes to work at the installation company, he is trying to restart his life.

What he doesn’t expect is being partnered up with a person like Gus. Gus being the more adventurous out of the duo. Although Kayo did claim that Elton does have a more outgoing side, he just needs some convincing.

NYCC 2020 Truth Seekers: What’s up with Astrid?

The character of Astrid is played by Emma D’Arcy and has some sort of ghost problem. Here is what D’Arcy had to say about it.

"Okay, well, Astrid when we first meet her is on the run. Her house has burnt down.And she’s got a massive ghost problem.She runs into, was almost run over by Gus and Elton. And, in them she discovers two supernatural enthusiasts. And well, I think she endows them with all the belief in the world that they might be her kind of help and salvation and, and find some ally ship and friendship and family."

NYCC 2020 Truth Seekers: So why should you watch? 

Truth Seekers seems to have it all. It has comedy, drama, horror, and everything in between. Malcolm McDowell told IGN that he loves the characters in the show and how they are all unique in their own way, yet come together nicely.

Emma D’Arcy took a different perspective and said that the show “has like a very nostalgic quality.”

Finally, Nick Frost said, “You know, we wanted it to be like, Scooby-Doo”
