The series' Canadian fans will also be treated to a Highway Thru
Hell holiday marathon of seasons 1 to 11 on Discovery Channel,
airing from Saturday, December 23 to Sunday, December 31. Season 12
of Highway Thru Hell returns with new episodes on Monday, January 8
at 10 p.m. ET, with Season 12 set to finale on Monday, January 29
at 10 p.m. ET.
Highway Thru Hell debuted on Discovery Channel in 2012 and
instantly became a mega-hit with viewers with its jaw-dropping,
real-life stories of the recovery operators and highway crews who
fight to keep the highways open in one of the most treacherous
routes in North America through B.C.’s mountains. The heavy rescue
teams featured in the series charge straight into the storm, and
over the years they’ve performed near-impossible vehicle rescues
day and night on steep cliffs, mountain tops, and washed out and
collapsing sections of highways to the awe of audiences
everywhere.
“Highway Thru Hell is one of the longest-running unscripted
series anywhere. Its success in Canada, the U.S., and globally, is
a testament to the incredible work performed day in and day out by
the heavy rescue companies that allow us to come along for the
ride, and a legion of incredibly hardworking and talented
production team members over the seasons,” said GPM President,
David Way. “And at the centre of it all is a humble, real-life
Canadian icon, Jamie Davis. Our heartfelt thanks to Jamie, the
entire cast of Highway Thru Hell, our steadfast partners at Bell
Media, and audiences worldwide for taking this incredible Canadian
success story to a magical 200 episodes, and beyond.”
“When we first started the series, we did it to show people the
challenges we face in serving the public, and the sacrifices the
industry and its members make to clear highways and enable traffic
to flow 24/7 every day,” said Jamie Davis, principal Jamie Davis
Towing and star of Highway Thru Hell. “We did not think the show
would last more than a year. And to our amazement, we are
approaching 200 episodes! We are happy that the show has been
successful in promoting the ‘slow down, move over’ message to
motorists. I have also been touched by the outreach from many fans
who’ve said the show has not only been entertaining, but that it
has also helped them get through difficult times in their personal
lives.”
Banijay Rights distributes Highway Thru Hell internationally.
It’s currently available on The Weather Channel in the U.S. and in
more than 180 territories across the globe.
