BURNING MEN (Hulu, New!) - Vox Media Studios, Majordomo Media and High Noon Entertainment are set to team for a bracket-style competition series at the streamer in which "we pit pepper growers against one another in a fight to prove whose creation is hottest.

Vox Media Studios, Majordomo Media and Leftfield Pictures are behind the effort with Shawn Witt, Gretchen Palek, Jordana Hochman, Chad Mumm, Mark W.
