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.
Ed Leclere, Founder, CEO & Executive Producer, said: “We are thrilled to premiere High Science. It’s been a long time coming and the rare characters revealed in the show are extraordinary. 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, President, Creative Director & Executive Producer, added: “After years of producing the major 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. Episode one premieres Wed., Nov. 27: “The New Frontier – 21st Century Pioneers;” from suits to soil: welcome to the wild world of legal cannabis.
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.
