The show’s official synopsis says it will: “weave together innovative new research with firsthand accounts from those who’ve been close to—and even experienced—death”.

The series is split into different topics, with the first episode exploring whether it’s scientifically possible to survive death, after our physical form expires.

Two episodes will address the subject of mediums, while another two episodes look at the different ways people can reach out from beyond the grave.

Netflix subscribers shared their excitement for the new documentary on Twitter, with one writing: “Night Stalker will definitely be a great watch but Surviving Death looks interesting too.”
