Spike Orders Four Unscripted Series
Spike TV has ordered four new unscripted series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"These shows all share one thing in common: at the heart of each of them is a dynamic personality in a high-stakes, reward vocation," Spike executive Sharon Levy said.
American Digger follows former professional wrestler Ric Savage and his company American Savage, which tries to find — sometimes by persuading people to allow them to rip up their properties — and sell artifacts. "We loved the idea that this was yet another out-of-the-box original way to enter the treasure space ... and we thought a perfect companion piece for Auction Hunters," Levy said.
