6 min readThe Grief Industrial Complex Goes Live
I’ll admit it: I watched the first episode of Live from the Other Side with Tyler Henry with the same mix of skepticism and morbid curiosity that usually accompanies a car crash. There’s something undeniably compelling about watching a man claim to speak to the dead in real time, especially when the cameras are rolling live and the stakes feel uncomfortably high. But by the end of the 45 minutes, I wasn’t just skeptical—I was unsettled.
Not because I believed Henry was channeling spirits, but because I realized how easily grief can be monetized, and how willingly we participate in the transaction.
The show’s premise is simple: celebrity guests sit across from medium Tyler Henry as he delivers messages from their deceased loved ones. Amanda Kloots, the show’s co-host, serves as a kind of emotional buffer, guiding the conversation when it veers into raw territory. The twist?
It’s all happening live, with no edits, no retakes, and no safety net. If Henry gets something wrong, we see it. If a guest breaks down, we’re there for it.
The format is a gamble, and Netflix is betting that the rawness of the experience will outweigh the risks.
That rawness is the show’s biggest selling point—and its most exploitative element. There’s a moment in the premiere episode where Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause receives a message from her late father. Henry describes a man who loved fishing, who had a specific kind of laugh, who wore a particular type of hat.
Stause nods along, tears welling up, as Henry refines his details. It’s emotional, yes, but it’s also textbook cold reading. The fishing detail is vague enough to apply to countless fathers; the hat could be a lucky guess.
And yet, Stause’s reaction is genuine. She wants to believe. Who wouldn’t?
Grief is a void, and Henry is offering something—anything—to fill it.
The problem isn’t that Henry is a fraud. The problem is that the show doesn’t care whether he is or isn’t. Live from the Other Side isn’t interested in truth; it’s interested in drama. The live format amplifies this.
In a pre-recorded show, editors can smooth over Henry’s missteps, cutting away from awkward silences or failed connections. Here, there’s nowhere to hide. We see Henry scribbling in his notebook, pulling names out of his pocket like a magician with a trick deck.
We see him backtrack when a guest doesn’t immediately validate his claims. We see the gears turning. And yet, the show still frames him as a conduit to the afterlife, not a performer working an audience.
Buzz & Rumors
Public reportsTyler Henry Returns to Netflix with Live Readings in Live from the Other Side
Netflix’s latest foray into the supernatural is here—and this time, it’s live. Live from the Other Side with Tyler Henry (2024) marks the return of the self-proclaimed "America’s #1 medium" to the streaming giant, following the success of his 2022 series Life After Death with Tyler Henry 
. Premiering on September 17, the eight-episode series trades pre-recorded sessions for a high-stakes live format, latestnetflix.com maintains, where celebrity guests receive real-time readings from Henry while moderator Amanda Kloots guides the emotional—and often unpredictable—conversations 
.
A Live Gamble for Netflix
Live television is a rarity for Netflix, which has historically favored polished, pre-recorded content. But with Live from the Other Side, the platform is betting on the immediacy of Henry’s readings to draw viewers. The series follows a straightforward premise: each week, a celebrity guest sits down with Henry, who delivers messages from deceased loved ones while cameras roll—no edits, no retakes . The format mirrors traditional live TV specials, like those of late-night psychics, but with Netflix’s production muscle behind it.
The shift to live broadcasts isn’t without risks. Critics have already questioned whether the unscripted nature of the readings will hold up under scrutiny. MovieWeb called the premiere "Netflix’s worst live event," though the outlet didn’t elaborate on why . Still, the live element could be the series’ biggest draw—or its undoing. Unlike Life After Death, where Henry’s sessions were carefully edited for pacing and emotional impact, Live from the Other Side leaves no room for error. A misfire could undermine the credibility Henry has built over years of TV appearances.
Amanda Kloots Steps Into the Spotlight
Moderating the chaos is Amanda Kloots, the dancer, actress, and The Talk co-host. Kloots, who lost her husband, Broadway star Nick Cordero, in 2020, brings a personal connection to the series. While the evidence doesn’t confirm whether she’s received a reading from Henry herself, her role as a grieving widow-turned-host adds a layer of authenticity to the proceedings . Kloots’ presence also softens the show’s tone, balancing Henry’s direct (and sometimes blunt) delivery with empathy.
The series isn’t Kloots’ first foray into the supernatural. She previously appeared on Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry in 2019, where Henry delivered a reading about Cordero [unconfirmed, but widely reported in past coverage]. Whether that experience influenced her casting in Live from the Other Side remains unclear, but her chemistry with Henry is a key part of the show’s appeal.
Celebrity Guests and Emotional Stakes
So far, the series has featured high-profile guests like Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, who received a reading in the premiere episode . The live format amplifies the drama—guests have no idea what messages Henry will deliver, and the unfiltered reactions are the show’s biggest selling point. For some, the readings offer closure; for others, they raise more questions. Either way, the emotional weight is undeniable.
But not everyone is convinced. Skeptics have long questioned the legitimacy of mediums, and Henry’s live format could either silence critics or give them more ammunition. The series’ success may hinge on whether viewers buy into the authenticity of the readings—or simply enjoy the spectacle.
What’s Next for Tyler Henry?
With eight episodes in the can, Live from the Other Side is a short-term experiment for Netflix. If it resonates, the platform could greenlight more live events, expanding beyond Henry’s usual pre-recorded format. For now, the series is a test of whether audiences are willing to tune in for unscripted, high-stakes supernatural encounters.
One thing’s certain: Tyler Henry isn’t going anywhere. Whether you believe in his abilities or not, his Netflix deal has cemented him as a fixture in the paranormal TV landscape. And with Live from the Other Side, he’s pushing the genre into uncharted territory—live, unfiltered, and full of tears.
