Discovery goes on Trailblazer

Trailblazers puts survival experts alongside scientists

Trailblazers puts survival experts alongside scientists

Discovery Channel in the US has ordered a six-part show that sees survival experts lead scientists into dangerous regions of the world.

Trailblazers (6×60′) is from UK producer October Films and follows three elite survivalists as they lead teams of experts searching for discoveries that could lead to scientific breakthroughs.

Discovery Networks International commissioned a similarly named six-parter last year titled Ed Stafford Trailblazer, from UK indie Keo Films.

The show is the third US commission for October in two months, following Mygrations (6×60’) for National Geographic US and global channels and drama-documentary series Barbarians Rising (8×60’) for History Channel US and global.


The company also announced last month its backing of a new joint venture, New York-based production company Talos Films, led by Julian Hobbs and Elli Hakami.

Trailblazers will be exec produced by October’s Chris Muckle, Jake Laufer and Matt Robins, while Christo Doyle is attached for Discovery.
