New Travel Channel series features Brazilian stars

Texas Crew hires Story Productions to shoot segments on location across Brazil for a brand new Travel Channel show

We’ve been waiting patiently for seven months to share some exciting news about a new Discovery series that we filmed on location in Rio de Janeiro and Bahia late last year. The good news? It’s now on air! The bad news? We can’t reveal any details about the episodes we worked on until they air in July.

The show is Ripley’s Believe it or Not! , which has been rebooted by the Travel Channel, and is hosted by actor Bruce Campbell. It features a line-up of breathtaking feats and astonishing real-life stories, filmed all around the world. The original Ripley’s Believe it or Not! captivated a US audience one hundred years ago when Robert Ripley traveled the globe documenting spectacular feats and people for a newspaper panel which later became radio, television and comic book series. Such was its success that it has since been immortalized as a phrase that captures how we marvel at the craziest of curiosities.

The new Travel Channel series aired on 9th June, the first of 10 one-hour episodes. As for the incredible Brazilians that feature in the series, we’ll just have to wait a few more weeks before we can take you behind the scenes on the shoot.

Looking for extraordinary characters or locations for a shoot? Brazil, with its continental proportions, has it all. Get in touch for a quote.
