Clive Myrie embarks on American Adventure for new BBC Two travel series

Clive Myrie's BAFTA winning BBC travelogue series will be returning in 2027 with his new American Adventure. In previous series he has travelled across Italy, the Caribbean and Africa - this time he is setting off on his 10- part ‘American Adventure.’

We know Clive as one of the most trusted voices in British broadcasting, reporting from political frontlines and war zones across the globe. But through these series, the audience have been able to get to know Clive better through his travel adventures - his family ties, his personal passions and his curiosity of how people live and work all around the world.

Clive grew up fascinated by American culture and has served stints as the BBC News correspondent in both LA and Washington DC. Like millions of African Americans, Clive traces his ancestry back to West Africa. But while his family’s story unfolded in Jamaica, he has always wondered about that parallel experience of those who arrived in America and were swept up in the Great Migration—the 50-year odyssey that saw six million African Americans leave the South and head North and West.

In this series Clive will follow the Great Migration, making a giant step beyond any other American travel show for the BBC. Along the way he will meet the high-octane stock car racers of North Carolina, experience NASA's latest space exploration tech in Virginia, discover the roots of hip hop in New York and ride out with the black cowboys of Texas.

From the neon-lit energy of sleepless metropolises to the calm of never-ending rural plains, Clive will discover a diverse culture as he celebrates the extraordinary stories of ordinary people.

Muslim Alim, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime comments: “Clive’s series bring the perfect mix of education and escapism, while audiences can enjoy locations like they’ve never seen before. American Adventure is another joyous blend of travel and self-exploration which we know our audiences will enjoy.”

Emma Parkins, Executive Producer for Alleycats comments: “Clive's passion for American culture shines through as he brings his natural warmth and curiosity to this American travelogue with a difference. Clive will discover the extraordinary story of the Great Migration, and how it shaped the music, movies, fashion, and food we consume every day, is as gripping as the characters and experiences Clive meets along the way.”

Clive Myrie’s American adventure will air on BBC Two and iPlayer in 2027.
