Plot Synopsis

This six-part series follows Mark Watson and Henning Wehn who know nothing about Latin culture, as the comedy duo explores the countries, people and cultures of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. En route, they laugh with football-obsessed locals, face roadside dramas, sample the local cuisine and unique way of life, and meet famous football players as they begin to learn what the sport really means to the different people. Two weeks after premiering in the UK on the Dave channel, NUVOtv aired the U.S. premiere of ROAD TO RIO on Wednesday, May 21, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT, showing back-to-back episodes.
