The network adds another scripted entry to the slate, with the one-hour series debuting July 1.
NBC is bulking up its summer scripted slate
The network announced Monday that it will air Siberia, a drama series centered on reality contestants competing in a remote location, beginning at 10 p.m. July 1.“The concept of survival, when mysterious elements are at play, makes for a compelling show,” said Jeff Bader, president of program planning, strategy and research for NBC Entertainment. “We believe a scripted series that offers an insightful behind-the-scenes view of how a reality concept comes together — especially when things don’t go according to plan — will connect with our audience in a very satisfying way.”
“NBC immediately saw the potential in Siberia, and this acquisition truly exemplifies the quality of this groundbreaking series. We are excited to bring it to their viewers,” said executive producer and Sierra/Engine Television CEO Chris Philip.
