"Think of your favorite movie and I'll bet you think of a vivid and memorable setting," said Horowitz. "This series brings those iconic locations back to life with the participants themselves. As a film lover, I'm honored to be the guy to bring viewers along for the ride."
"This series leverages a remarkable digital growth year at Paramount Network and it perfectly complements a remarkable team and its creative evolution across the brands' social channels," said Jennifer Danielson, SVP of Digital Studios for Comedy Central, Paramount Network and TV Land. "Comedy Central has experienced massive success with amazing digital originals and we're thrilled to take those learnings and apply them to the Paramount Network filters, focusing on big stories and iconic films. Josh is the perfect person to lead this next chapter, as his passion for movies is matched only by his genius as a storyteller and interviewer."
Josh Horowitz is a correspondent for MTV News, where he's been leading their film coverage since 2006. He's well known for writing and starring alongside the likes of Jennifer Lawrence, Hugh Jackman, and Dwayne Johnson in his digital series for Comedy Central, After Hours. He also continues to host his wildly successful Happy Sad Confused podcast featuring guests ranging from Al Pacino to Quentin Tarantino.
Danielson's team at Comedy Central, which features a robust digital originals slate, recorded massive social and digital growth for Viacom's fiscal year (October 2018 - September 2019), with 6.7 billion video views (+41% year over year) and 14 billion watch minutes (+72% year over year).
On Location, Paramount Networks' first original digital series, follows the brand's creative filter of creating TV as exciting as movies, leaning into Paramount's cherished cinematic history.
