Travel Channel has greenlit seven new series and one new pilot that illustrate the network’s vision for its travel entertainment programming – to connect viewers to the world and share its amazing places, people and stories. Three of the new series will inspire viewers to experience new locations and cultures around the globe: “50/50,” with Samantha Brown and Chris Grundy, is a spontaneous adventure with a twist, “Five Star Secrets,” hosted by hotel expert Anthony Melchiorri, is a behind-the-scenes look at the world’s best hotels and “Rev Runs Around the World” joins international icon Rev Run and his family on a worldwide journey as they test their limits with no set itinerary. Adventure and world exploration are the focus of the coming-of-age docu-series “Boy to Man,” with award-winning filmmaker Tim Noonan, and “Majestic America,” (wt) which showcases the breathtaking footage of America’s most beloved national parks. Host Curt Menefee of “Hello Goodbye” discovers travelers’ stories as they come and go from America’s busy airports, and host, acclaimed journalist and author Alison Stewart of “Follow Your Past” reveals American’s personal connections to history and extraordinary events. The network has also greenlit two half-hour episodes of a new pilot, “Relocated,” which follows professionals and their families as they consider one of the hardest decisions of their lives.
