We’re excited to finally share what we’ve been working on: Field Season, a new adventure documentary series from Traverse Cinema Studio. The show follows paleontologist & Museum Director, Andre LuJan and our dig crew as we hunt for the next big dinosaur discovery. From remote badlands to caves sealed since the Ice Age, Field Season brings viewers into the real work of expedition life—where science, risk, and discovery collide in the field.
The pilot episode premieres December 12, 2025 on YouTube, and it launches with one of the most challenging locations we’ve ever filmed: a Pleistocene trap cave hidden in the volcanic hills of Texas. Few people have ever been inside, and it marks the beginning of an ongoing story that will unfold throughout Season 1.
This series has been years in the making, and we’re grateful to everyone who helped bring it to life. We can’t wait for you to come along on our adventures!
