Leading up to the premiere of his live Netflix series Tuesday night, renowned medium Tyler Henry experienced waves of excitement. He wants to reveal more about his process in which his sixth sense manifests through his first five senses.

“While sometimes I'll get a taste or a smell or get kind of more of an audible impression in my head, visions are the primary way of communication, very strong, active imaginations or daydreams,” he tells USA TODAY.

Henry also looks forward to addressing his skeptics with readings performed in real time. The curious Google if he’s real. A first-hand account of a reading in 2022 proved very popular with our readers.

“I think that in being able to see it without that editing is extremely powerful in a way even more than we've previously seen,” the 28-year-old Henry says.

“Live from the Other Side with Tyler Henry,” an 8-episode weekly series (Tuesdays, 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT), follows five seasons of E’s “Hollywood Medium” which introduced the Hanford, California native. Later Henry, who became aware of his ability at 10, and Netflix pooled their powers for one season of "Life After Death with Tyler Henry," in which he met with everyday people and attempted to solve his own family mystery: How his mom, Theresa, ended up being raised by a woman evil enough to commit double-homicide. Theresa learned only a few years ago that woman is not her biological mother.

In “Live from the Other Side” Henry will be visited by celebrities accompanied by their friends and family whom they’d like to gift a reading with Henry. Their identities will be kept secret from Henry.

“A grade-school teacher that made an impact, or a friend or somebody who desperately needs a connection,” Henry explains. Kind of like the ESP version of “Celebrity IOU.”

“We, going live, will see what happens in real time with very little safeguards,” Henry says with a laugh. “Which for skeptics is going to be really interesting to watch, and I think for believers could be very compelling if all goes as one hopes.”

In Tuesday's premiere that was moderated by Amanda Kloots, guest Chrishell Stause brought her sister Shonda Davisson, and friends including celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton and television host Nina Parker.

Henry’s premonitions bounced between guests during 43-minute program, which was not short on tears.

Henry felt Stause’s late mom’s love for Stevie Nicks. He was also able to relieve Stause’s regrets about the final words they shared.

“I hated my last conversation with her,” Stause revealed. “Is that something that she thinks about?”

Henry assured the "Selling Sunset" star that her mother doesn’t dwell on that chat. Parker became emotional when Henry connected her with a cousin who died in January at age 33.

But of course in life — even when you can connect with the dead — there are no guarantees.

“As a medium there's a great fear of humiliation,” Henry admits. “There's a great risk of not only being wrong but looking fake, and this is an occupation where if people don't believe that what you're doing is real, they believe you are lying. So it's not just even so much an ideological thing about, ‘I don't know about that. I don’t really believe in that,’ as much as it becomes a moral thing.”

I signed upfor an aura reading and wound up in tears. Here's what happened.

Fortunately for Henry, he’s made it a habit to pursue the fears that shake him.

“I think that really there's something to be said about being able to have the courage to face discomfort and understand that is where growth exists,” Henry says. “I hope that in taking those risks and embracing that it makes people look at their own life and think, ‘Hey, what can I do to be more of who I am and not be afraid of being afraid?’”

In addition to his new series, Henry will continue his live tour, doing readings at theaters across the country. He's also devoting time to working on a book, co-authored with his mother, centered on her turbulent upbringing "being abducted as a child and all of the crazy things she dealt with as having a homicidal mother figure who spent 30 years in prison," Henry says. "So very interesting story, and and I'm excited to be able to work on that more."
