truTV is putting the key in the ignition for California DMV: Field Offices (working title), the network's first project with Ashton Kutcher and Jason Goldberg's Katalyst, creator of the hit series Punk'd. The project takes viewers into the world of the California Department of Motor Vehicles. With unprecedented access to several offices and locations, California DMV: Field Offices will provide an eye-opening, behind-the-scenes look at hard-working personnel who deal with everything from issuing licenses and registering vehicles to maintaining accident records and investigating complaints.

"With California DMV: Field Offices, truTV is ready to jump behind the counter and see what really happens," said Marc Juris, executive vice president and general manager of truTV. "This promises to be a fast-paced, fun series, and we're excited to be working with Katalyst for the first time."

"We've all spent time at the DMV, but few people know what it's like to work for the DMV," said Jason Goldberg, co-founder and CEO of Katalyst. "California DMV: Field Offices promise to be a glimpse at what DMV workers experience, from strange to hilarious."

California DMV: Field Offices is executive-produced by Katalyst. Hedda Muskat also serves as executive producer. For truTV, Anthony Horn serves as executive in charge of production.
