Nebula, in association with Wendover Productions, announced the production of a new Original Scav, a docuseries centered on the University of Chicago’s annual scavenger hunt.
Scav is a chaotic, heartfelt docuseries following competitors in the largest annual scavenger hunt in the world.
Every year, a 20-page Scavenger Hunt list plunges the University of Chicago into fun, sleepless chaos. This series will bring the audience into the action, following three top teams as they race to complete the list, and answering the question of what happens when the best and brightest turn their focus towards the silliest things you’ve ever seen.
The show is directed by Adam Chase. Executive producers are Dave Wiskus and Sam Denby, and executive co-producers are Graham Haerther, Tyson Kroening, and Christine Benedetti.
Dave Wiskus, Nebula founder and EP: “This was an easy project to greenlight because in addition to making for an interesting show it also acts as research and development for future seasons of Jet Lag so really it’s a bargain when you think about it.”
Adam Chase, director: “At Jet Lag: The Game, we have often attempted to answer the question: what happens when smart people are asked to put all their mental, physical, and emotional energy towards doing something incredibly silly? UChicago’s Scav Hunt has posed this same question for nearly forty years, and I am thrilled to tell their story.”
The show is set for release on Nebula in fall 2025.
