Freaks of Nature

This brand new series, hosted by Tyler Harcott, uses interviews, stunning location footage and archive content to show the beautiful and awe-inspiring power of nature.

Each episode follows Tyler's quest to look at a different natural force – from sub-zero temperatures and volcanoes to dangerously high winds and the effects of gravitational force.

Tyler undergoes his own tests around these natural forces, such as experiencing zero-G flight, stage-two hypothermia, and the effects of high altitude in a hyperbaric chamber.

Tyler then meets individuals who have suffered at the hands of nature as the show uses reconstructions of death or near-death experiences to tell the human stories of those who have fallen victim to nature's power.

He goes on to meet those who have first-hand experience resisting or surviving extreme forces or have found a way to conquer them through skills or science.
