Cancel all your plans for later this year, because MTV UK are bringing an exciting brand new documentary series to our screens, fronted by award-winning filmmaker, writer and director Reggie Yates.

The series (working title Reggie Yates vs The World) will see Reggie tackling the big issues that young people are facing globally as he travels to four locations and immerses himself in extreme situations to gain new perspective on each issue.

Speaking about the upcoming show, Reggie, who will act as a consultant producer as well as presenter on the show, said: “The documentary genre is one that I’m hugely passionate about and have learned so much about myself and the world through.

“In this series I’ll encounter challenging situations and bring new insight into just some of the areas affecting young people all over the world.”
