Surpassing a hundred episodes for a television series is
considered quite a feat, but those that exceed 200 episodes are
even more rare. With the March 4th airing, Highway Thru Hell, joins
the ranks of mega-hit factual and reality series like Ghost
Hunters, Myth Busters and Keeping up with the Kardashians that have
exceeded the 200-episode threshold.
Highway Thru Hell originally debuted in 2012 and instantly
became an instant hit with viewers with unbelievable 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.
Episode 200 of Highway Thru Hell offers a rare insider
perspective on "Snow Protocol" as heavy rescue teams and highway
crews battle one of the most extreme storms of the year to keep the
Coquihalla Highway open. This milestone episode captures the
high-stakes decisions and heroic efforts that keep drivers safe as
the teams face whiteout conditions and relentless snowfall while
undertaking near-impossible recovery operations.
“Highway Thru Hell’s success in Canada, the U.S., and globally,
is due to the heavy rescue companies and highway crews that permit
our talented production team to document the life-saving work that
they do every day,” said GPM CEO, David Way. “We need to thank the
entire dedicated cast of Highway Thru Hell, our steadfast partners
at Bell Media and the legions of fans in Canada and around the
world for getting us to this moment. With another season already in
production, this journey is set to continue.”
“Wow, 200 episodes is an incredible accomplishment,” said Jamie
Davis, series star and founder of Jamie Davis Towing Company, who
has appeared in all 13 seasons. “I want to thank each and every one
of our dedicated fans for helping us reach this incredible
milestone. We love sharing our stories with you, and there’s so
much more to come. Highway Thru Hell is one road we hope never
ends.”
Season 14 of Highway Thu Hell is now in production at GPM in
partnership with Bell Media. Banijay Rights distributes the series
internationally. It’s currently available on The Weather Channel in
the U.S. and in more than 180 territories across the globe, with a
