G4, the network known for video game and Olivia Munn coverage, is getting serious. Seriously.
In the works is Bomb Patrol: Afghanistan, a Hurt Locker-inspired reality show that follows a U.S. Navy Explosive Ordinance Disposal unit. According to The Hollywood Reporter, G4 has ordered 10 one-hour episodes of the new series, which will begin production alongside a new EOD unit in the States, and then follow them during their deployment abroad. Says G4 president Neal Tiles:
There is simply no
way to comprehend the incredible amount of pressure and split-second
decision-making these individuals must undertake in the worst possible
physical conditions without riding along with them as our cameras will
do. This is a rare opportunity to
showcase the work of the courageous men and women on the front lines and
share with our viewers all the real-life drama, teamwork, danger and
triumph that goes along with this specialized job.
G4 has an agreement with the Navy involving a number of restrictions and limitations to
protect both the crew and the members of the EOD unit, but the military
will not have any creative control over the show's production. I tell ya, this is one show I would not want to PA on. Bomb Patrol: Afghanistan premieres this Spring.
