Introducing [REDACTED]; from Athan (The Grotto) and Jamie Petronis (The Cellar Letters)
Following the death of his twin, failing actor Jacob Kane assumes his late-brother’s life in hopes of a fresh start. Instead of finding stability, Jacob finds himself working within The [REDACTED] Unit, a covert agency tasked with containing impossible creatures and phenomena. As he becomes entangled with paranormal forces and secret agendas, Jacob begins to discover a sense of belonging in a place he never expected.
Equal parts horror and workplace satire, [REDACTED] takes inspiration from late 90s & early 2000s television like procedural monster-of-the-week shows X-files & Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the classic ensemble banter of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Psych.

The [REDACTED] Kickstarter is live now
https://theredactedunit.com/ks
[REDACTED] follows Jacob Kane (voiced by Jamie Petronis), a failing actor desperate for a fresh start who assumes the identity of his deceased twin, Jordan (Nathan Lunsford – The Storage Papers). What he expects to be a simple accounting job turns out to be something far stranger: a position within THE [REDACTED] UNIT, an underfunded agency tasked with discreetly handling bizarre and often dangerous paranormal cases.
As Jacob settles into his role, he begins to unravel the unsettling truths around his brother’s death. What begins as an act of reinvention slowly becomes a desperate descent into a treacherous web of paranormal forces, secret agendas, and moral compromise.
