Leon McCarron is set to make his debut appearance on Discovery Channel US later this month, as a guest contributor across three episodes of Reza Pakravan's forthcoming series "Hidden Frontiers: Arabia." Throughout the season, Reza, along with his team of adventurous experts and scientists, traverses the rugged landscapes of Arabia, searching for clues of lost civilizations, including an unexplored canyon in Saudi Arabia and the formidable Zagros mountains of Iraqi Kurdistan in search of the endangered Persian leopard. Having lived in Iraq for over three years, Leon was the perfect companion and guide through the Zagros mountains - a partnership that went so well, Reza invited Leon back for another adventure. This time to accompany him on his incredible journey exploring the awe-inspiring desert kingdom surrounding NEOM - an experience that would challenge them in ways they hadn't expected, including a severe snow storm! Hidden Frontiers is a truly breathtaking series, which should hopefully reach UK shores before too long. In the meantime, viewers in the US can enjoy the series on Discovery Channel US from August 20th, with the Iraq episode airing on Sunday August 27th. You can watch the series trailer here.
