From the Emmy award-winning creatives behind Duck Dynasty, Deadliest Catch and others, comes another “paradigm-bending” television series, High Science, premiering Wednesday, Nov. 27, on YouTube (YouTube @HighScienceTV).
The show will focus on “the colorful cannabis pioneers trailblazing the modern-day green rush.”, according to a press release.
“Fans are invited to add High Science to their holiday watchlists as it introduces humorous and entertaining show hosts, Rich Batenburg Jr. and Richard “Rick” Batenburg III”, states the release. “The father/son duo takes viewers on a rarely seen adventure that unravels the inside world of cannabis. Like scenes out of the Wild West, the cannabis characters are as legendary as the cowboys of the OK Corral.”
High Science is being dubbed as “a wild ride with persevering pioneers and their exploits on the ground and yes, underground (Catch a glimpse here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAkLBaAONLA).”
Ed Leclere, Founder, CEO & Executive Producer, said: “We are thrilled to premiere High Science. It’s been a long time coming and the rare characters revealed in the show are extraordinary. We want viewers to enjoy the ride, something we believe is historical as no one has captured the topic of cannabis quite like this. We are fortunate to have so much talent surrounding our shows.”
David McKillop, President, Creative Director & Executive Producer, added: “After years of producing the major hits, this one we believe will take on even newer heights in capturing the imagination. Whether you use cannabis, are intrigued by its medicinal benefits or are simply interested in seeing how a young industry is on the verge of exploding, our stories in season one of High Science have a little bit of everything.”
High Science will see eight episodes in season one, airing on Wednesdays. Episode one premieres Wed., Nov. 27: “The New Frontier – 21st Century Pioneers;” from suits to soil: welcome to the wild world of legal cannabis.
Before episode one debuts, fans can check in on the High Science YouTube channel for the official show countdown and, coming soon, viewers can live chat and even connect with cast members during the show.
The show streams on YouTube “to reach viewers worldwide, and to capitalize on the freedom of the platform, including episode length, topics and even brand integration.”
