```html 'Free Solo' Star Alex Honnold to Host Nevada Travel Adventure Series for Outside Network

Alex Honnold, the renowned free climber and subject of the Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo," is set to headline a new travel adventure series, "Get a Little Out There With Alex Honnold," premiering in 2026 on the Outside network. The five-episode series will follow Honnold as he explores his home state of Nevada, embarking on unique and adventurous experiences.

Exploring Nevada's Hidden Gems

Developed in partnership with Travel Nevada, the series aims to showcase the state's diverse landscapes, cultural attractions, and offbeat roadside stops. According to the official logline, the show will offer a fresh perspective on disconnecting from daily routines and venturing into unfamiliar terrain, such as stargazing in Great Basin National Park or mining for turquoise in central Nevada.

"Involvement in this series is awesome for me," Honnold told Variety. "My love for adventure matches the spirit of Nevada. Red Rock has been a huge part of my life, but Nevada still surprises me with how much there is to see and do. I’m excited to explore the hidden corners of this state and share what makes it so special."

A Shift Towards Authentic Travel Content

The series reflects a growing trend in the entertainment industry towards authentic and experiential travel content. "Audiences are increasingly seeking out travel narratives that go beyond the typical tourist destinations and delve into the unique character of a place," says Dr. Emily Carter, a professor of media studies at the University of Southern California, specializing in travel and adventure programming. "Honnold's involvement lends credibility and a sense of genuine exploration to the project."

Honnold's Expanding Media Presence

This announcement follows Variety's recent exclusive report that Honnold will also be featured in a live event on Netflix in early 2026, documenting his climb of Taiwan's Taipei 101 skyscraper. This expansion into television and streaming platforms marks a significant step for Honnold, solidifying his position as a prominent figure in adventure entertainment.

Nevada's Tourism Strategy

Rafael Villanueva, CEO of Travel Nevada, emphasized the alignment between Honnold's adventurous spirit and the state's tourism brand. "Travel Nevada’s brand mantra is ‘Get a Little Out There,’ and what better person to demonstrate how to do that than Alex Honnold?" Villanueva stated. "For many years, Alex has been a tremendous unofficial brand ambassador for Nevada, showing off the incredible climbing available in his home state. We are thrilled to partner with him and Outside to help share the spirit of Nevada and the under-the-radar spots within our state that embody it."

Outside Network's Perspective

Sam Moulton, VP of creative strategy and solutions at Outside, highlighted the unexpected cultural experiences and outdoor opportunities that Nevada offers. "From cowboy poets and clown hotels to Basque food and turquoise mining, Nevada’s unique culture experiences are as unexpected as they are awesome," Moulton said. "The state is also way wilder than you think, home to remote climbing crags, world-class mountain biking, and everything in between making it ideal for Outside’s network. And Alex is the perfect host to show us the state through his eyes, as curious as he is up for any adventure."

The Evolution of Adventure Programming

The partnership between Honnold, Travel Nevada, and the Outside network represents a convergence of talent, tourism promotion, and specialized media. "Historically, adventure programming often focused solely on the physical challenge," notes Mark Johnson, a veteran television producer with experience in adventure documentaries. "Now, there's a greater emphasis on the cultural and personal aspects of the journey. This series seems to be tapping into that trend, offering viewers a more holistic and engaging experience."
