Plot Synopsis

Hosted by avid outdoorsman and hunter Dean Cain, 10 MILLION DOLLAR BIGFOOT BOUNTY is a competition series that follows nine teams trying to capture Bigfoot in the Pacific Northwest, as they vie for the $10 million cash prize. If no team captures the beast, then the team that provides the most compelling visual and DNA proof of its existence, as determined by Cain and two other judges, wins a $100,000 research grant to continue their search. Each week, teams are put to the test, competing in two grueling challenges: a field test and a lengthy hunt in a famous and active Bigfoot hot zone to collect incontrovertible DNA and visual evidence of Bigfoot. Teams then present what their evidence and hypotheses to a judges' panel made up of Cain and two scientific experts, Dr. Todd Disotell and Natalia Reagan, who consider and hold all evidence to the highest scientific standards. DNA evidence is processed utilizing Disotell's state-of-the-art mobile DNA lab, which can produce DNA results in the most remote locations within a day. Disotell holds a PhD from Harvard and is a biological anthropologist who runs New York University's molecular primatology lab. He has been a part of research teams that have discovered several new species and subspecies of primates. Reagan is a primatologist with a Master's degree in anthropology. She specializes in primate conservation and has a wealth of experience tracking monkeys in the wild.
