A real-estate agency that only takes on unsellable houses sounds like a gimmick, until SurrealEstate turns the premise into a mystery series that keeps circling back to unfinished business between its haunted properties and the people who occupy them.
What is SurrealEstate about?
Nick Roman leads a small team of specialists — a mix of skeptics and true believers — who step in when a property scares off every conventional buyer, whether the trouble is a vengeful presence, a buried secret, or something the previous owner never mentioned. Each case forces the team to work out what a house actually wants before they can neutralize it, while a longer thread involving the properties across their fictional town suggests the hauntings are connected rather than random. The tone sits between spooky procedural and character drama, leaning on banter among the team as much as on scares.
Cast & crew
Tim Rozon plays Nick Roman with a dry, unbothered energy that keeps the show from tipping into straight horror, while Sarah Levy and Adam Korson give the rest of the team its skeptical counterweight. Maurice Dean Wint and Savannah Basley round out a cast that treats each haunted house as its own small mystery rather than a repeat of the last one.
Context & significance
Created for genre audiences who want their scares delivered with a sense of humor, SurrealEstate sits in a lineage of case-of-the-week supernatural shows that use a workplace framework — in this instance a real-estate office — to justify a new haunted location every episode. The Canadian production values give it a distinct, slightly overcast look that separates it from glossier American horror series.
Where & how to watch
SurrealEstate is available on K-Time with Farsi subtitles, letting Persian-speaking viewers follow the show's mix of mystery and horror without losing the dialogue's dry humor. The page is free to read; watching the series requires logging into a K-Time account.
