Fox Reality Channel, the only all reality, all the time cable and satellite network, presents another new original series, "Long Way Down." Featuring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, this is a follow-up series to "Long Way Round", which also airs on Fox Reality Channel.
This time, the team's 15,000 mile journey has them traveling through volatile political hotbeds, treacherous road conditions and stunning natural wonders. Get ready for the journey of a lifetime when "Long Way Down" makes its U.S. television premiere on Fox Reality Channel, Saturday, August 2 at 9pET/PT. The series was directed and executive produced by David Alexanian (Elixir Films) and Russ Malkin (Big Earth), who also served in the same capacities on "Long Way Round."
Best friends, McGregor and Boorman travel through numerous countries including Egypt, Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia and Namibia, taking time to examine the various cultures and natural wonders they encounter along the way. Their course takes 85 days, crosses two continents and is filled with innumerable adventures and challenges.
McGregor's wife, Eve Mavrakis, joins the show for the first time and introduces an all-new dynamic to the team as she rides along with them for a leg of the journey. In addition to lending a personal hand to projects for UNICEF, McGregor and Boorman also raised over $1 million for Children's Hospice Association and Riders for Health through the show.
"Ewan and Charley's journey from Scotland to South Africa is even more demanding, more riveting and more real than their previous journey," said David Lyle, President, Fox Reality Channel. "Fox Reality Channel is the home of exciting domestic and international reality TV covering a wide range of formats, and this barrier-breaking series fits well within the network's programming strategy."
