Let’s take a look at what you can watch:
Atlas Obscura – Currently streaming
From the World’s Largest Egg in Chicago to diving into a grits-filled pool at the World Grits Festival in St. George, South Carolina, Atlas Obscura takes viewers to the USA’s most unusual places.
The short-form video series will feature 15 new unique destinations across America, including O’ahu’s majestic Koko Crater Trail, the surfing culture of Alaska’s bore tide, and a ghost town in Virginia City, Nevada that’s still very much alive.
California Pop – From 23 April 2020
The original five-episode series takes viewers on a road trip across California to experience the state’s lesser-known pop-culture landmarks. In partnership with Visit California and produced by Saville Productions, the show combines innovative visuals with rich, character-based storytelling.
Viewers follow two fun-loving and adventurous best friends, Anthony and Shikira, as they explore Gold Country, the Central Valley, and the vast California coastline. During their journey, they meet a diverse cast of unforgettable characters — creators, purveyors, and stewards of pop culture — who overcome obstacles to carve out their own creative corner of California.
Each episode builds on the previous one, expanding the viewer’s understanding of the Golden State’s diversity and myriad possibilities waiting to be discovered. Click here to view the trailer.
Lucky In Love – From April 30, 2020
This three-part original series sends three international couples on a game of chance throughout the United States. The toss of a coin determines which partner will select the day’s activities as they set out to explore a new destination – pushing the duo outside of their comfort zone as they experience something entirely new.
In the end, the couples learn something new about themselves – both independently and together. True relationships may be tested but also strongly forged. The series is filmed in Fort Worth, Texas; Washington, DC; and New Orleans, Louisiana.
Trails & Trailblazers – Currently streaming
Trails & Trailblazers is derived from Brand USA’s third documentary film, Into America’s Wild. The show follows an adventurous young pilot, Ariel Tweto, as she discovers new and unexpected places across the USA. Viewers will be taken to uncharted territories of Alaska’s landscapes and wildlife, virtually kite surf along Oregon’s scenic Columbia River Gorge, and even see what it is like to ride the bison on Antelope Island in Utah.
Additional destinations include the Appalachian Trail in Florida, where viewers meet personalities such as Jennifer Pharr Davis, a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, who set the record for completing the fastest Appalachian Trail hike by a woman. In San Antonio, Texas, viewers cruise along the San Antonio River, where they meet Emma Faye Rudkin, a deaf inspirational speaker who inspires disabled children around the USA to overcome obstacles.
Tweto also makes stops in New York, Colorado, and New Mexico. This series is produced by the Academy Award-nominated producers at MacGillivray Freeman Films. Please click here to view the trailer.
