Cabins in the Wild with Dick Strawbridge - Season 1
Season 1
In this new series, engineer Dick Strawbridge, along with master craftsman Will Hardie, follows an ingenious competition to build a pop-up hotel made up of eight stunning and unique cabins in the wild. The Welsh tourist board challenged designers and self-builders to create a cabin for £11k that can be moved around the Welsh landscape every month. From over a hundred entrants, eight were chosen and Dick and Will follow the challenges of bringing these ambitious designs to life. The eight builds include a miniature coal mine, a hat-shaped cabin, and one designed to look like a cave. One of the cabins is set to be crowned the overall winner. Each episode features two of the builds as they battle it out for a place in the grand final. Meanwhile, Dick and Will build their own retreat for the pop up hotel.

Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
