BURNING MEN (Hulu, New!) - Vox Media Studios, Majordomo Media and High Noon Entertainment are set to team for a bracket-style competition series at the streamer in which "we pit pepper growers against one another in a fight to prove whose creation is hottest. Each episode a new region of growers goes head to head in a series of challenges aimed at testing the heat behind their superhots.

In the end, only one grower will emerge victorious and take the crown for World's Hottest Pepper." No auspices were given. (Deadline.com)

CHEFS VS. WILD (Hulu, New!) - Kiran Jethwa will host a new competition series at the streamer in which "two different world class chefs will be dropped into the wilderness where they'll embark on a grueling and unprecedented mission – survive and forage enough wild ingredients to create a restaurant worthy, five-star meal. Episodes will culminate in the chefs going head-to-head in a "wilderness kitchen," using their foraged ingredients and ingenuity to create savory dishes and, ultimately, impress the judges." Vox Media Studios, Majordomo Media and Leftfield Pictures are behind the effort with Shawn Witt, Gretchen Palek, Jordana Hochman, Chad Mumm, Mark W. Olsen, David Chang, Dave O'Connor, Chris Ying, Christopher C. Chen and Stephen Rankin serving as executive producers. (Deadline.com)

Vox Media Studios, Majordomo Media and Spoke Studios are behind the project with Chang, Eric Wattenberg, Scott Lonker, Will Nothacker, Liz Fine, Chad Mumm, Mark W. Olsen, Dave O'Connor, Chris Ying, Christopher C. Chen and Patrick J. Doody as the executive producers. (Deadline.com)
