Norman Reedus is about to take viewers on a ride on AMC.

The network that airs his drama, “The Walking
Dead,” announced on Thursday it had greenlit a new, non-fiction show with
the actor — “Ride with Norman Reedus” (the show’s working title).

Premiering in 2016, the show will span six one-hour
episodes, following Norman as he takes viewers “on a ride on the
open road to explore local motorcycle culture and
its history and celebrate some of the best and brightest collectors, mechanics
and motorcycle craftsmen around the country,” according to
the network.

“I’m incredibly excited and thankful to AMC for giving me the opportunity to share a passion of mine with our fans, and hopefully a whole new audience. I had a lot of fun filming and exploring, and I hope it shows,” Norman said in a statement.

“Ride with Norman Reedus” will focus on a different city each week and it will include guests, who also have a love for motorcycles, who will travel with Norma.

They’ll stop at various spots, including “custom bike shops, tattoo parlors, collector’s warehouses, or a roadside smokehouse…with plenty of time for unplanned detours and tire changes,” according to the network.

“We love being the home of people’s passion projects, and there is nobody more passionate about motorcycles than Norman Reedus,” Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV, said in a statement.  “He is an avid rider and aficionado who is deeply immersed in motorcycle culture. There is also nobody more fun to hang out with. This show will bring those two elements together for a weekly ride into the incredible world of motorcycles and the people who live and breathe them.”
