Discovery Science Snaps Up Jared Hasselhoff-Led Evil Knows! Series

BERLIN: Discovery Science has picked up exclusive TV rights in more than 100 countries for the recently completed series Evil Knows!: In the Name of Science, featuring “Evil” Jared Hasselhoff.

Discovery Science secured the rights in several territories, including Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, the Benelux, the Middle East and Africa. The six-part series, produced by German factual specialist Maximus Film and distributed by Quintus Media, follows “Evil,” the bass player of U.S.-rock band Bloodhound Gang, on a search for momentous quests, myths and phenomena from daily life. The show features crazy experiments in various categories that often find “Evil” in the crash test dummy seat.

Each episode features six different scientific categories, such as “Evil Reveals,” where he answers some of life’s questions with several spectacular experiments involving helicopters, jet fighters, horses and more. Other categories include “Shot Check,” where he sends his team out to find the true stories behind odd pictures or videos from the internet; “Human Heroes,” which sees him visit extraordinary personalities from all over the world; and “Unbreakable,” where he tests whether products actually live up to their producer’s claims of being unbreakable.”
