RTÉ's The Unreal will air its second season on October 26th. 

In the first series, the Kelly family discovered they were actually fictional characters who had escaped from a 1980s TV sitcom into the real world.

Now, one year later, the Kellys are just trying to live a normal life. But when they visit a spooky, run-down hotel to attend an 80s Video Collectors Fair, they get more than they bargained for.

Kevin catches glimpses of a ghostly boy, and the family decides to go ghost-hunting. But when Kevin eventually comes face-to-face with the apparition, he makes a startling discovery: the ghost looks exactly like him! 

In Irish folklore, a ghostly doppelganger is known as a ‘Fetch’. If you see one, legend has it you may soon meet a deadly fate.

This is just the beginning of a supernatural comedy adventure as the Kellys uncover strange secrets, confront their fears, and fight to survive in a world where the line between real and unreal becomes increasingly blurred.

Starring Senan Jennings (Kevin), Joseph McGucken (Tom), Kathryn McKiernan (Mary), Kate Brady (Katie), with Patrick McDonnell, Daniel Nwambu (Leo), Lorena Montes, and Don King Roganvilla.
