Rhys Darby To Host Wildlife Competition Show For Peacock

The Big Picture Peacock is set to air the first ever wildlife reality competition show. The Hungry Games: Alaska’s Big Bear Challenge will be narrated by Rhys Darby. Unlike the namesake Hunger Games, however, the bears will mostly be competing against the elements, and not battling each other to the death.

New Zealand comedian Darby broke out playing Murray Hewitt, the ineffectual manager of musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords on their self-titled HBO series. He is a regular in the works of fellow Kiwi Taika Waititi, starring in his films What We Do in the Shadows, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and Next Goal Wins. He recently starred opposite Waititi as pirate Stede Bonnet on Our Flag Means Death, which was canceled after two seasons on Max.

What is 'Fat Bear Week'? Every October, Katmai National Park holds Fat Bear Week, a week-long 'competition' which makes up a tournament bracket of the park's resident bears, then invites participants to vote for their favorite bears to win as they gorge themselves on the park's population of sockeye salmon.

The Hungry Games: Alaska’s Big Bear Challenge is produced by Love Nature and Ample Entertainment. Alison Barrat and James Manfull executive produce for Love Nature; Ari Mark, Phil Lott, and David Brown executive produce for Ample Entertainment. The Hungry Games: Alaska’s Big Bear Challenge will span three episodes, and will stream on Peacock; no release date has yet been set. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
