SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — From the Emmy award-winning creatives behind Duck Dynasty, Deadliest Catch and others, comes another paradigm-bending television series, High Science, premiering Wed., Nov. 27, on YouTube and introducing the colorful cannabis pioneers trailblazing the modern-day “green rush.”
High Science introduces humorous and entertaining show hosts, Rich Batenburg Jr. and Richard “Rick” Batenburg III. The father/son duo takes viewers on a rarely seen adventure that unravels the inside world of cannabis. Like scenes out of the Wild West, the cannabis characters are as legendary as the cowboys of the OK Corral. High Science is a wild ride with persevering pioneers and their exploits on the ground and yes, underground.
One thing is certain, expect the unexpected as son Rick hits the road in a madcap venture that exposes a young industry in all its unsung glory.
“High Science has been a long time coming, and the rare characters revealed in the show are extraordinary,” said Executive Producer Ed Leclere. “We want viewers to enjoy the ride, something we believe is historical as no one has captured the topic of cannabis quite like this. We are fortunate to have so much talent surrounding our shows.”
David McKillop, Creative Director & Executive Producer, added: “After years of producing hits, this one we believe will take on even newer heights in capturing the imagination. Whether you use cannabis, are intrigued by its medicinal benefits or are simply interested in seeing how a young industry is on the verge of exploding, our stories in season one of High Science have a little bit of everything.”
High Science will see eight episodes in season one, airing on Wednesdays. Before episode one debuts, fans can check in on the High Science YouTube channel for the official show countdown and, coming soon, viewers can live chat and even connect with cast members during the show.
The show streams on YouTube to reach viewers worldwide and to capitalize on the freedom of the platform, including episode length, topics and even brand integration.
The High Science series is an entertaining insider’s view of the cannabis industry and its many extraordinary characters. High Science also has established the High Science Charity Foundation, a nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization that supports research and education for plant-based therapies, with a special focus on veterans and underserved communities.
