CONGRATS ON ESSENTIAL MEDIA GROUP’S HAT-TRICK AS WELL!!!

From Deadline - A&E Network and Essential Media Group continue to push the boundaries in the genre of high-stakes stunts on live TV with new series The Impossible Live (working title). A&E has ordered five two-hour episodes of the series, which they describe as the most ambitious live stunt series ever attempted.

A&E and Essential have also been partnering with daredevil Bello Nock on previously announced Volcano Walk Live (wt), a live special showcasing the longest, most complicated and dangerous stunt ever attempted – a world record high-wire walk over an active volcano. The special, which had been in development, has gotten an official green light.

From Corus - Big Timber is greenlit for 8x60 on History Canada. In the forests of Vancouver Island, B.C. a family of loggers have bet it all on a valuable and isolated timber claim. But with treacherous weather and impossible terrain they must build their own roads and craft their own machinery to get this timber out in the best condition possible – and they have a limited amount of time to get it done.
