Theresa Caputo’s Lifetime showRaising SpiritsSeason 1first launched in January 2024, and it immediately hookedLong Island Mediumfans eager to see the famous medium in a new light. However, now, after a hiatus of sorts, that left many fans waiting for more episodes to materialize with no update on the same,Matthew Ostromhas ended all speculations and hasinsinuated that the project is moving full steam ahead. The film producer recently talked about all his shows and non-fiction shows at length.
In a August 11, 2025, interview with TVInsider, Ostrom revealed that his collaboration with Caputo remains strong, thanks in large part to her remarkable and“really dynamic personality.”TheSwamp Peopleproducercredited her authentic approach to mediumship for setting her apart from others in the same space. During the interview, Ostrom, while praising Caputo’s ability to make people tear up, revealed how they got the head of development to buy six episodes of the show initially. Uponbeing asked whether Ostrom is still working with heron the new showRaising Spirits, his exact response was:
“Yes, she is at Lifetime. I call her a genre buster because for years people have tried to do shows with mediums. Any time someone would pitch us a show about a medium, we’d always compare them to Theresa, and there is nothing compared to her.”
‘Raising Spirits’ Serves a Fresh Take on Mediums
So while now it’s clear that the show remains on Lifetime’s slate, it’s important to acknowledge the distinctive spin on television that it brings to the table. The show sharply contrasts with the familiar formats viewers have come to expect. Shows likeHollywood MediumorCrossing Over with John Edwardoften fixate on studio-style readings, but Caputo’s approach emphasizes both the emotional resonance of her messages and the day-to-day intricacies of her life.
On top of it,Raising Spiritstouches on the host’s own vulnerabilitiesand helps people relate to the show relatively easily. It also showcases how easily readings can occur outside formal settings, too — in a bustling London hat shop or during line dancing in Texas. Plus, instead of followinga strict episode structure with multiple readingsat home likeLong Island Medium, the new show features Caputo traveling worldwide.Raising Spirits, therefore, in all realms, presents a more intimate portrait in raw detail.
Theresa Caputo: Raising SpiritsSeason 1 used to air on Thursdays on Lifetime at 9 PM EST. All episodes of the first installment are available to stream on the same platform.
