Younghusband stars in the docuseries, which sees him tackle strange and dangerous activities in an attempt to beat experts at their respective games. It is the second Discovery original Canadian series to be shot in 4K Ultra HD. From a roller derby dust-up to taking on his marathon-running mom, Younghusband pushes himself to the limits of his mental and physical abilities.<\/p>\n<p>Younghusband will also host season 12 of Discovery\u2019s reality series <em>Canada\u2019s Worst Driver<\/em>. The upcoming season is currently in preproduction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe piloted this show concept in a series of original shorts as our first 4K original project on Discovery GO last December, and are now looking forward to bringing an entire season run to the network,\u201d said Edwina Follows, the director of commissioning and production at Discovery Networks Canada. \u201cDiscovery is pleased to be working with Andrew and Proper Television on this exciting new project while we continue to count on him to bring our viewers an incredible 12th season of their favorite guilty pleasure, <em>Canada\u2019s Worst Driver<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will be the 20th series Andrew and I have worked on together in the last decade,\u201d said Guy O\u2019Sullivan, the president of Proper Television. \u201cThat feels like some kind of landmark\u2026and more importantly, we\u2019re still having as much fun as ever. Andrew is a great talent and this is a great opportunity for him and the whole Proper bench to showcase our factual entertainment chops in a new space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m super excited for the 12th season of <em>Canada\u2019s Worst Driver<\/em> because we\u2019ve created some clever new tricks, and we\u2019re dusting off some old ones we haven\u2019t done in a few years,\u201d said Younghusband. \u201cI sure hope I\u2019m there to be a part of it\u2026I say that, because the new show may very well kill me!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORONTO: Canada&#8217;s Discovery Channel has ordered a ten-episode season of the documentary series Andrew Younghusband\u2019s How Hard Can It Be (working title) from Proper Television.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[311,312,82,313,314,315,316],"class_list":["post-8236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-andrew-younghusband","tag-canadas-worst-driver","tag-discovery","tag-discovery-go","tag-discovery-networks-canada","tag-how-hard-can-it-be","tag-proper-television","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
