YouTube Red has added another series to its rapidly expanding roster: Ultimate Expedition, an unscripted adventure competition series that will bow on the service next year.

Produced by Finnish production company Rabbit Films -- which was founded by YouTube stunt luminaries The Dudesons -- the show will follow eight as-yet-unnamed YouTubers with no previous mountain climbing experience as they attempt to summit Mount Tocllaraju in Peru. Ultimate Expedition will be hosted by The Dudesons' ringleader and Rabbit Films USA president Jukka Hildén. In addition to the climb, the YouTube creators will each attempt to overcome a personal challenge -- including chasing dreams and spiritual awakenings -- over the course of 10 episodes.

Hitler is on a dinosaur in the first trailer for Iron Sky 2…

The first Iron Sky movie arrived in 2012, off the back of a six year development period. It was fuelled heavily by fandom, with the makers of the film working closely with its potential audience through the making of the movie. Eventually, it reached the finish line, although its UK release spluttered, off the back of the decision to give it just one day in British cinemas. It took a fan backlash to do something about that.

Still, it’s a movie firmly classed as a cult one, with reviews not on the happy side generally. But still, it did enough business to warrant a sequel. Which is what brings us all together today.

Iron Sky: The Coming Race has been in the works officially since 2013, and this time, the movie has been crowdfunded too. Its...

Iron Sky: The Coming Race has been in development for years! The first two trailers were released back in 2014, but now we have another awesomely ridiculous trailer for you to watch and enjoy. This epic sci-fi adventure features a reptilian Hitler riding a freakin' T-Rex! In the story, he leads a shapeshifting reptilian race and their army of dinosaurs. There's also some fun-looking space battle sequences. The movie looks so over-the-top and it may end up being a bad movie, but it still looks like it's going to be a wild and strange ride! Here's the synopsis, which is completely bonkers:

Twenty years after the events of Iron Sky, the former Nazi Moonbase has become the last refuge of mankind. Earth was devastated by a nuclear war but buried deep under the wasteland lies a power that could save the last of humanity – or destroy it once and for all.

2012's absolutely bizarre cult hit Iron Sky is finally getting a sequel next year and, it may not be a great movie, but it just got an insane new trailer. The teaser for Iron Sky: The Coming Race has finally arrived online, and it is way more bizarre than any of us could have possibly imagined. If the idea of space Nazis wasn't enough for you, how about Hitler riding a T-Rex like a horse? Because that definitely happens in this latest footage.

The Iron Sky: The Coming Race teaser was recently uploaded to the official Iron Sky YouTube channel, and it was worth the wait. The movie may not ultimately be worth a six-year wait, but even if that is the case, this trailer is definitely worth a few minutes of your time. There are spaceship battles that almost look worthy of Star Wars, a Nazi base at the center of the Earth and,...

[[tmz:video id="0_rr8fw903"]] "The Dudesons" star Jukka Hilden took a big shot with a new stunt Friday ... and it's painfully entertaining to watch. Half of the 4-man stunt group from Finland joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday to show off a new feat of insanity -- using a pressurized t-shirt cannon to fire thumb tacks, Lego parts and chunks of cactus into Jukka's chest (and throat). We'd like to say this beats getting chomped on by an...

[[tmz:video id="0_mx7h73sd"]] "The Dudesons" star Jukka Hilden is at it again ... with another insane stunt that ends with a Scorpion Trapped In His Mouth!! Jukka -- a member of the four-man stunt group from Finland -- was the lucky loser who had to stuff a live scorpion in his mouth, and attempt to duct tape the sucker in there for a full minute. Why? Because playing with alligators is so last week. There's gotta be a better way to make a living.

[[tmz:video id="0_ua1013qg"]] "The Dudesons" star Jukka Hilden -- a member of the four-man stunt group from Finland -- played a game called Alligator Bite Roulette, and it's Exactly the way it sounds.

The Dudesons in America Bleed Red, White and Blue

For about as long as Johnny Knoxville and the guys from Jackass have been entertaining America with their dangerous, yet ridiculous stunts, the Dudesons have been entertaining Finland with their brand of extreme and outrageous behavior. Beginning in 2001 with their Finnish show, Extreme Duudsonit, which was a combination of extreme stunts comedy and reality; the show became the most widespread Finnish TV series of all time. Now the Dudesons, which consist of Jukka Hilden, Hannu-Pekka "Hp" Parviainen, Jarno "Jarppi" Lepp&#228l&#228 and Jarno Laasala, bring their exciting act to the U.S.A. with a new series called The Dudesons In America, beginning May 6th on MTV.

Step aside, Jackass -- the Dudesons have arrived. On May 6, MTV will premiere its latest guys-with-too-much-testosterone-doing-crazy-stunts reality series, called The Dudesons in America, and EW.com has an exclusive first look at the show's explosive (literally) trailer. Produced by Jackass' Johnny Knoxville and Jeff Tremaine, Dudesons in America documents the don't-try-this-at-home antics of four Finnish friends as they attempt to make their way in America by, you know, outrunning tigers, stepping into a bullring while walking on stilts, or standing on top of a seven-story building as it's being demolished. "It's Jackass meets Borat," says the group's 29-year-old ringleader,...

MTV has ordered a pair of post-"Jackass" extreme-stunt reality series, each with a format that's been previously tested.

In "Dudesons in America," four Finnish stuntmen and pranksters whose exploits are well known in Europe will attempt to do "even stupider stunts and pranks" than they performed back home. "Jackass" star Johnny Knoxville is on the executive producing team.

"The Dudesons have balls where there should be brains, and I am honored to be doing a show with them," Knoxville said.

The second series is "MTV's Parkour Challenge," which aired as a one-hour special in October. Parkour is a foot race through a cluttered urban environment where racers scale obstacles.

"There is so much competition for the eyes and attention of young guys these days that we really have to over-deliver and create can't miss, event television for them," said Tony Disanto, president of programming for MTV. "These two shows...
