Discovery Channel pits former US Navy Seal and escape and evasion expert Joel Lambert in a real-life, extreme version of hide-and-seek against some of the globe’s most elite military and law enforcement tracking units in its all-new series Manhunt With Joel Lambert.

Manhunt With Joel Lambert.

The stakes are extraordinarily high as the series puts Lambert’s evasion and escape skills, and the readiness of these national hunter force agencies — the Philippines Army Scout Rangers, South Korean National Police Swat, Panama’s anti-drug trafficking unit Servicio Nacional de Fronteras, Poland’s border guard, the Straz Graniczna and more — to the ultimate test.

Armed with only a basic survival kit and his wits, Lambert is dropped on location in the Philippines, South Korea, South Africa, US, Poland and Panama with a head start.

He then has up to 48 hours to reach a pre-determined extraction point that only he is aware of — while being pursued by a different hunter force agency each week, as well as having to face treacherous terrain and deadly wildlife such as lions, leopards, rhinos and more — or risk being captured.


Manhunt With Joel Lambert is telecast on Monday at 7pm and repeats every Friday at 2pm and 10pm, Saturday at 4pm and Sunday at 9pm on TrueVisions 19.
