The team at Heliconia is thrilled to announce that Adventure Cities will premiere on OutsideTV in February 2025! This milestone marks a significant achievement for our network distribution, as OutsideTV brings this fast-paced and exhilarating travel show to a wider audience.

Adventure Cities takes audiences on international journeys with host Jonathan Thompson, as he explores the world’s most fascinating urban centers in search of adventure, unique cultures, attractions, and hidden gems that make each city a must-visit destination. Known for its engaging storytelling and breathtaking visuals, Adventure Cities has already captivated audiences on Discovery and FanDuel Sports Network, and will begin to air on PBS in 2025. The addition of OutsideTV to its distribution lineup solidifies Adventure Cities as a leading show in the adventure travel genre.

Starting with Season 3 in February 2025, Adventure Cities will showcase destinations like Scottsdale, Montréal, La Paz, Lafayette, Lexington, Whistler, and Golfo Dulce. Following that, Seasons 2 and 1 will air throughout the late winter and spring months, featuring incredible locations such as Sacramento, Darwin, Long Beach, Alice Springs, Aqaba, Québec City, Sapporo, Portland, Geneva, Ottawa, Zürich, Banff & Lake Louise, and many more. This exciting rollout ensures that new and returning audiences can enjoy the full journey of the show, from its latest adventures to its origins.

This announcement also highlights our team’s commitment to our guaranteed distribution platform, with Adventure Cities joining an impressive lineup of Heliconia shows already airing on OutsideTV, including Facing Waves, Great Family Adventure, Outdoor Eats, and Epic Trails. These series represent a diverse range of outdoor and adventure content, ensuring our tourism and brand partners benefit from unparalleled exposure across multiple platforms and networks.

“OutsideTV is a perfect broadcast home for Adventure Cities. Their audience of outdoor and travel enthusiasts aligns perfectly with the spirit of our series. This added distribution will bring our exciting adventures and unique destinations to viewers who share a passion for exploring and experiencing the world.”

– Brendan Mark, CEO of Heliconia.
