MUMBAI: US infotainment broadcaster Discovery has launched Seeker, a new online network featuring adventurers, explorers and storytellers on journeys that celebrate the world around us.

The latest addition to the web-native portfolio, Seeker’s programming includes a dozen original web series and engaging affiliates.

Discovery Digital Networks’ Seeker aims to deliver experiences paired with reflection – from those who have journeyed “off the grid” in pursuit of a more fulfilling life to individuals from all walks of life revealing their personal, profound rituals. Laura Ling, a leading voice and innovator, produces and hosts several Seeker series, including Going Off Grid and Rituals, and will be joined by an incredible roster of storytellers and characters.
