NextTrip’s JOURNY Unveils First Originals Slate as Global Rebrand Expands
Original Programming Anchors JOURNY.tv’s Expansion Across FAST and VOD Platforms, Powered by Interactive Commerce Technology
Santa Fe, NM – October 13, 2025 – NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRP) (“NextTrip,” “we,” “our,” or the “Company”), a technology-forward travel company redefining how people discover, plan, and book travel, today announced the first wave of JOURNY Originals, a slate of six premium series as part of JOURNY’s 21-title Originals lineup. This milestone coincides with the launch of JOURNY’s new Video-on-Demand (“VOD”) platform and builds on the channel’s strong global broadcast presence, further solidifying JOURNY as the destination for authentic, cinematic travel storytelling across both linear and on-demand platforms.
Since acquiring JOURNY in April 2025, NextTrip has rebranded the channel, expanded investment in content and technology, and laid the foundation for global growth. JOURNY reaches more than 17 million viewers monthly, and viewer expansion programs are underway across major free ad-supported streaming television (“FAST”) and broadcast platforms, including upcoming expansions into Southeast Asia through a distribution partnership with KC Global Media set to launch in late 2025. With Originals, JOURNY evolves from curator to creator, developing long-term IP with international distribution potential and globally recognized talent.
The First Six JOURNY Originals (Premiere 2026)
Borderless Table – Hosted by Lauren Camilleri, internationally recognized from the breakout hit Paradise Kitchen Bali (HBO, Disney, ABC, Tastemade), this series explores the Caribbean’s people and traditions through food, connection, and storytelling. “Food is just the beginning. Every table reveals the heart of a culture and the stories that connect us all,” said Camilleri.
Origins of Dance – Emmy Award-winning performer Kid David (David Shreibman) takes audiences into the roots of the world’s most iconic dance styles, from ballet’s Renaissance origins to breaking’s rise in New York. “Every dance has an origin story. It’s a global language that unites us,” said Shreibman.
Beyond the Known – Brazilian host Marilia Moreno embarks on a global wellness journey, uncovering inspiring stories of those who redefine balance, healing, and purpose. “This is travel with purpose. I wanted to go beyond the surface and share stories that inspire us to rethink how we live,” said Moreno.
Eco Luxe – British-Nigerian model and media personality Adeola Ariyo redefines high-end travel with an eco-conscious twist, showcasing glamorous destinations that prioritize sustainability. “Travel can be glamorous and conscious. Eco Luxe shows how we can indulge while protecting the planet,” said Ariyo.
TIDE – Celebrity chef Ben Robinson (Below Deck, Bravo; Food Network) takes audiences on a cruise unlike any other, where every port inspires a new pop-up dining experience on board. “Every harbor has a flavor. We’re not just cooking meals, we’re telling the story of each destination,” said Robinson.
Whipped – Professional skateboarder, DJ, and cook Yann Horowitz dives into Asia’s culinary landscapes and nightlife scenes, cooking with local chefs and immersing in culture. “Cooking with local chefs and then skating through the streets, it’s about living culture, not just tasting it,” said Horowitz.
Executive Commentary
“Announcing our first Originals slate is a defining moment for JOURNY,” said Stephen Friedman, Head of Channel, JOURNY. “The JOURNY rebrand has already energized audiences and partners, and with these series we are delivering cinematic travel content with diverse voices and global perspectives. As we expand later this year into Southeast Asia through our KC Global Media partnership, JOURNY is poised to become a truly international travel brand.”
“From Lauren Camilleri’s global breakout with Paradise Kitchen to Emmy-winner Kid David’s cultural journey through dance, our Originals slate brings together extraordinary hosts and stories that resonate worldwide,” added Aniko M-Baillie, Head of Originals, JOURNY. “These series are designed to inspire audiences, excite partners, and create long-term value across all platforms, establishing JOURNY as a hub for premium travel storytelling.”
