Discovery+ has released a trailer for their upcoming four-part series Expedition: Back to the Future, where Expedition host Josh Gates convinces Back to the Future star Christopher Lloyd to come with him on an epic journey to track down the seven DeLorean DMC-12s used in the Back to the Future trilogy. There is one that is housed at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, but as it turns out, the franchise used six other versions as well. Once they find one they can acquire, they will donate it to Lloyd’s co-star from the franchise, Michael J. Fox, to sell at auction to benefit the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
Entertainment Weekly said of the four-part series:
Along the way — and the way includes L.A., Houston, New York, and Orlando — Gates and Lloyd cross paths with Back to the Future cast members including Fox, Lea Thompson, Donald Fullilove, James Tolkan, and Harry Waters Jr, as well as Bob Gale, who co-wrote the screenplay for Back to the Future with director Robert Zemeckis (and wrote Part II and Part III). They also chat up DeLorean experts, collectors, and Future superfans to learn more about the lore of the legendary ride.
This just looks like so much fun! I love the Back to the Future franchise as well as the stars, and I think this is a great adventure for a great cause. Check out the trailer below, and watch all four episodes of Expedition: Back to the Future when they debut on March 15th on Discovery+.
