00:00Having this experience has made me a better medium in the sense that I can relate to a lot of the struggles my clients go through.

00:06We're getting to know Tyler Henry like we've never known him before in his newest Netflix series.

00:11The 26-year-old medium to the stars is leaving Hollywood behind and hitting the road in Life After Death with Tyler Henry.

00:18Henry chatted with us to talk about his new series, which finds the medium focusing less on celebrity and more on everyday people

00:25as he tracks down his long list of clients from around the country, guiding them to sources of comfort.

00:30This new show, Life After Death, really focuses more on kind of pulling back the veil.

00:35I think people who are curious about the process will find it really interesting.

00:40But beyond that, even just the readings, I think these readings focus on people who are out there,

00:45who need a reading more than anything, and I think that's where that ability shines

00:50when it's met with a person who really has a genuine need.

00:53Henry says he first discovered his gift at just 10 years old

00:57when he says he had an overwhelming feeling of his grandmother's passing.

01:01Since then, he's been able to bring healing and closure between many of his clients and their lost loved ones,

01:07as seen here in an exclusive clip from the upcoming series.

01:10Okay.

01:12Show me.

01:13Yeah, like number one mom.

01:15It's just sweet.

01:16You know those things that kids make in like second grade, first grade?

01:19He showed me like this number one mom.

01:21It's really funny.

01:22So this was your son?

01:27I don't see dead people walking around.

01:29That would be terrifying.

01:30If anything, I just get impressions.

01:32And these impressions rely on my physical senses to come through.

01:36So sometimes I'll get a physical sensation that corresponds with how somebody might have died.

01:41Other times I'll get a message in my head that feels kind of akin to having like a song stuck in your head,

01:46is the best way to describe it.

01:47But there's also times where I'll get smells or even tastes.

01:51And so I have to take all of this stimulus, all of this intuitive information,

01:55interpret it in a way that makes sense,

01:56and then deliver it in a way that's very specific.

01:58Life After Death not only focuses on bringing healing to others,

02:02but the new Netflix series also pulls back the curtain on Henry's own backstory,

02:06giving a deeper look into his family history,

02:09specifically a shocking discovery about his mother and grandmother.

02:13So a few years ago, we made a shocking discovery that the people that I thought were my grandparents

02:18actually weren't, and that my mom was taken as a baby from her biological family.

02:24And only now in her 50s has she made this discovery.

02:27It's quite an incredible story of resilience.

02:29My mom's ability to go through that experience at such a young age

02:33and come out of it at an amazing mother to me is a testament to her strength.

02:37While piecing together the history of his own lineage,

02:40Henry has helped countless others, something he calls healing.

02:43I'm able to achieve what I always wanted to achieve,

02:46which was reading everyday people like myself and, you know,

02:49connect where there really is the most need.

02:51But despite leaving celebrity readings behind on his former hit E-series Hollywood medium,

02:57there were some that still left a special impact on him.

03:00Probably my experience with RuPaul was one of the most profound readings,

03:04just in part because that was somebody that I looked up to

03:06as I was young, living in a small town, you know, not out.

03:11It was very helpful to be able to meet that person

03:14who really inspired me to be myself

03:15and then to be able to help him, you know,

03:18find some closure with his own father who had passed away.

03:21It was really kind of a full circle moment.

03:23And as for what he hopes for his newest series,

03:25I hope that when people watch it, they see the vulnerability of the story.

03:29They see my mom's resilience,

03:30but I hope they also kind of see themselves in the story as well.

03:34Life After Death with Tyler Henry debuts on Netflix March 11th.

03:38For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Neha Joy.
