Last year the brand was nominated for a 2019 Streamy award for Best Sports Channel.

The pilot marks the fourth collaboration between Jukin and DCP. Other series include fail video series FailArmy, which has completed seven seasons; Terry Crews-hosted World’s Funniest, which aired on Fox; and viral video clip show Now That’s Funny!, which aired on Viacom International’s Channel 5 in the UK.

Producer Jukin said: “Awe-inspiring stunts, high-octane action sports, and the most innovative tricks you’ll ever see, People Are Awesome is the most inspirational and jaw-dropping show on the planet!”

The People Are Awesome streaming TV channel launched in spring 2020 and is available on multiple streamers.
