Norman Reedus to Take Center Stage in New AMC Motorcycle Series

NEW YORK: AMC has given the go-ahead to Ride with Norman Reedus, a tentatively titled factual show led by the titular actor, who's best known for his role in The Walking Dead.

Ride with Norman Reedus will look on as the actor and bike enthusiast travels around the U.S. exploring local motorcycle culture and its history. The 6×1-hour show is being produced by Left/Right Productions. It is slated to begin airing on AMC next year.

"We love being the home of people’s passion projects, and there is nobody more passionate about motorcycles than Norman Reedus," said Joel Stillerman, the president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV. "He is an avid rider and aficionado who is deeply immersed in motorcycle culture. There is also nobody more fun to hang out with. This show will bring those two elements together for a weekly ride into the incredible world of motorcycles and the people who live and breathe them."

"Norman's interest in motorcycle culture and his natural ability to make friends wherever the road takes him are just two of the key ingredients that make this show so exciting for us," said Ken Druckerman, co-president of Left/Right. "We look forward to taking viewers on a fun, imaginative, and revealing ride."

Reedus added: "I'm incredibly excited and thankful to AMC for giving me the opportunity to share a passion of mine with our fans, and hopefully a whole new audience. I had a lot of fun filming and exploring, and I hope it shows."
