EXCLUSIVE: Baywatch alum Donna D’Errico is fronting and exec-producing mystery travel series Mythbound, which is now streaming on YouTube.
The series follows D’Errico as she “travels to locations around the world investigating some of the most well-known myths, legends, and mysteries, placing herself at the center of each investigation”.
Season one begins with D’Errico’s search for Sasquatch in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado alongside investigator Kenny Collins. Upcoming episodes take her to Lake Champlain in search of the lake monster known as “Champ” with researcher Katy Elizabeth; Area 51 and the Roswell UFO ‘crash site’; the Stanley Hotel in Colorado, known for reported paranormal activity; California’s Gold Country in search of a famed lost mine; and Loretto Chapel in Santa Fe, New Mexico, to examine its unexplained Miraculous Staircase.
Future international episodes are planned to include investigations in Peru into alleged mummified extraterrestrial remains and the Nazca Lines, an expedition into the Congo in search of a legendary creature often described as a living dinosaur, and explorations tied to Mount Ararat and the search for Noah’s Ark, as well as sites associated with the Ark of the Covenant.
Throughout the series, whose episodes will release weekly, D’Errico is joined by local experts and “unexpected guests” who help guide each investigation.
D’Errico rose to prominence with her role on the original Baywatch series and went on to star in movies Candman Day Of The Dead and Kiss The Bride. More recently she has acted in movies Frank And Penelope and Survive The Game.
“After 30 years in this industry, I’ve spent most of my career working in a world that’s built for you, where everything is structured, controlled, and designed to tell a story,” D’Errico said. “With Mythbound, I get to step into something completely different. It’s taking me to real places, following questions that have been around for centuries, and experiencing them firsthand instead of just hearing about them. There’s something about standing in those places and talking to people who truly believe in what they’ve seen that changes your perspective. The more I experience, the more I realize how much we still don’t know. And that’s what makes this so compelling to me. It feels like I’m just beginning to scratch the surface of something much bigger.”
“Donna is the perfect person to bring Mythbound to life. She genuinely loves these stories, and that comes through in every episode. There really hasn’t been anything like this on YouTube, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience the legends we uncover each week,” said series director Ryan Walker.
D’Errico is represented by Advanced Management and Smith Young Talent Agency.
