INDIVIDUAL SHOW SYNOPSES:

"Prospectors" Season Three

At 14,000 feet above sea level, there's 50 percent less oxygen, and extreme weather is often these prospectors' worst enemy as they brave close-call lightning strikes, hurricane-force winds and dramatic temperature changes. But for those willing to battle the elements and confront the danger, some of the planet's most rare and precious gems are just waiting to be unearthed - with huge paydays to accompany them. "Prospectors" is produced by High Noon Entertainment ("Hurricane Hunters," "Cake Boss"). 10x 60-minute episodes.

"Highway Thru Hell" Season Three

"Highway Thru Hell" traverses extreme mountain roads fraught with steep, icy terrain, where the men of Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue are pushed to their breaking point as they fight to keep the roads open on some of the most economically important and most travelled routes in North America. When the highway shuts down, it's up to Jamie and his team to get the roads open as fast as possible, saving jackknifed semis and performing death-defying cliff rescues. This is a series about a treacherous mountain pass, Mother Nature and the toughest men in the towing business. 13x 60-minute episodes.

"Why Planes Crash" Season Two

Fog, haze, hail... these events may seem like harmless, everyday occurrences, but when it comes to planes, weather can be deadly. "Why Planes Crash" investigates the elements that contributed to some of the world's most shocking aviation incidents. Highlighted by witness and survivor interviews, expert perspectives, black box testimony, and animation built straight from the case files of the FAA, the series explores what happens when weather goes terribly wrong for those traveling by air. "Why Planes Crash" is produced by Peacock Productions ("Weather Caught on Camera," "Storm Stories"). 8x 60-minute episodes.
