NEW SPECIAL – Begins Streaming Sunday, June 26 on discovery+

For years, Jack Osbourne and his friend, actor Jason Mewes, have been curious about the existence of the legendary creature known as Sasquatch, Yeti or most commonly, Bigfoot. Now, they’re venturing into the remote Priest Lake region of northern Idaho, the site of the most reported Bigfoot sightings over the last half-century, to figure out for themselves if Bigfoot is truly an undiscovered creature of North America’s wilderness or simply an age-old legend run wild. During their entertaining and engaging adventure, the duo will speak with eyewitnesses and experts and camp out in the isolated, bear-infested woods as they track Bigfoot on its home turf.
