“Rocky Mountain Wreckers captures the real peril and drama
inherent in some of the most dangerous jobs in the world, set
amongst some of America’s most breathtaking landscapes,” said David
Way, President of GPM. “Not only do the companies we follow do some
of the most challenging and unbelievable recoveries, but the
series’ documentary subjects are also immensely entertaining and
will make for great television.”
"The Weather Channel is committed to sharing stories about how
weather can have major, life-changing impacts on our lives,” said
Nora Zimmett, President, News and Original Series, Weather Group –
parent company of The Weather Channel television network. “Rocky
Mountain Wreckers follows the lives of five wrecking crews who
brave extreme weather conditions just doing their daily jobs. One
wrong turn can mean a business catastrophe – or even prove fatal.
This series will be a great addition to our primetime line-up as it
combines high-stakes excitement, adventure and weather stories that
our viewers expect to see on The Weather Channel.”
Way, Todd Serotiuk, Millan Curry-Sharples and Michael Francis
serve as Executive Producers for GPM.
In addition to providing an in-depth look at the teams of
professionals who risk their lives daily to keep these Interstate
highways open, clearing rollovers and collisions, Rocky Mountain
Wreckers will also show viewers how they too can travel safely
under difficult weather and climate conditions.
Rocky Mountain Wreckers is currently in production for delivery
in fall 2024.
