Series Follows Everyday Americans Ditching Their Jobs, Buying a Business and Kickstarting Their Next Chapter

"Business Hunters" Coming This Fall 2022

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. - June 8, 2022 - On the heels of the greatest mass exodus of American workers in modern history, CNBC today announced the network has greenlit a new primetime series from award-winning producer and Chairman of Worldwide Television at MGM, Mark Burnett, for anyone dreaming of owning their own business. "Business Hunters," set to debut fall 2022, features aspiring entrepreneurs who give up the 9-to-5 grind to take a chance on themselves by buying a business.

Entrepreneur CEO and expert host Matt Higgins and business broker and entrepreneur Mayumi Muller guide budding small business owners as they decide between potential businesses for sale - will they swing big and put their life savings down to become an independent business owner? There's never been more at stake.

"I love this format. I've lived it! The idea of betting on yourself is the American dream," said Burnett. "This will be unlike any show I've ever done in the business space, because for the first time, the buyers are everyday people, just like the viewer at home."

"We are excited to partner with Mark Burnett on a new business reality series that will bring to life the stories of entrepreneurs at this pivotal moment in time," said "Denise Contis, Executive Vice President and Head of Content, CNBC Primetime. "Whether you're a would-be entrepreneur, navigating the new realities of work, or debating a different path, CNBC at night is dedicated to providing viewers with content that will inspire and ignite your reinvention."

The series will also feature live interactive play-along elements and additional engagement opportunities for viewers to put themselves in the shoes of these entrepreneurs further sparking their own reimagining of work.

"Business Hunters" is produced by MGM Television and Evolution Media with Mark Burnett, Barry Poznick, Douglas Ross, Alex Baskin, Jen McClure-Metz, Matt Higgins, Eric Van Wagenen and Vanessa Ballesteros serving as executive producers. Timothy Kuryak is the executive producer for CNBC.
