Telemystery: NBC To Air Drama Thriller Siberia during Summer 2013

NBC has acquired the drama thriller Siberia, which will air this summer on the network.

In 1908, a meteor hit deep into the remote Siberian territory of Tunguska. Now, more than 100 years later, 16 contestants descend on Tunguska unknowing of the land's mysterious past. When a contestant is badly injured and no help arrives, the contestants are met with the chilling realization that the strange occurrences are not part of the show. With their safety threatened, competing contestants must band together in an effort to survive.

"We created the series as a dramatic human experiment shot under difficult conditions and we are thrilled to see it on NBC," said producer Michael Ohoven, Infinity Films.

"The concept of survival, when mysterious elements are at play, makes for a compelling show," said Jeff Bader, President, Program Planning, Strategy and Research for NBC Entertainment. "We believe a scripted series that offers an insightful behind-the-scenes view of how a reality concept comes together — especially when things don't go according to plan — will connect with our audience in a very satisfying way."

Siberia will premiere Monday, July 1st, 2013 at 10 PM ET/PT.
