'Street Outlaws' to air Scotts Bluff County episodes in early 2021

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (KNEP) - Local officials have been notified recently that the reality TV series, Street Outlaws, filmed in Scotts Bluff County in the months of August, September and October will begin airing in January. According to the executive producer of the show, the first of several episodes of the popular series will begin on Monday, January 11, 2021.

Production executives from the Los Angeles based company Pilgrim Media Group visited western Nebraska in early August after completing successful film production in Casper, Wyoming. The company was able to find several roadways in the area that met the criteria and the road scout checklist.

Filming for the popular reality TV series, Street Outlaws, was made possible by a combined effort of local city, county and state departments and agencies. Although there were some residents inconvenienced by noise and traffic disruptions, for the most part, the community seemed to have embraced the opportunity. Hotels, restaurants and retail shops affected drastically by the COVID pandemic benefited from the nearly 90 member production crew and numerous drivers being in the area for nearly two months. The economic impact of the filming has been estimated at over $2 million.

Street Outlaws will be airing on the Discovery Channel, with the first episode airing on January 11th.
