Discovery commissions new series, Legends of the Wild, with adventurers Damian Duffy and Matt Hoffman, trying to solve wildlife mysteries.


The Discovery Channel (DStv 121) has commissioned a new 6-episode series, Legends of the Wild, with adventurers Damian Duffy and Matt Hoffman going in search of answers to wildlife and nature mysteries in the natural world.

Legends of the Wild will follow Damian Duffy, a former Australian army paratrooper and certified wilderness guide, and Matt Hoffman, a professional wildlife photographer and storm chaser, who are childhood friends, as they investigate, document and try to solve some of the most incredible mysteries of the natural world.

"Together they will journey deep into the wild - risking it all - to find the answers to some of the world's most hair-raising wildlife mysteries," says Discovery.

"From mysteries like unexplained sea creatures spotted in the icy waters of Alaska to brutal deadly attacks by an airborne predator in Papua New Guinea, Damian and Matt set off into the wild each week to find and document the answers. Then they have to make it out alive."

Legends of the Wild (working title) is produced for the Discovery Channel by Hit+Run. For Hit+Run, Rob Shaftel is executive producer, with Noah Korn and David Story serving as co-executive producers. For Discovery Channel, John Slaughter is executive producer and Cameron Doyle is coordinating producer.
