Just as summer is coming to an end, the History Channel’s chilliest reality series is coming back to the small screen.
On Wednesday, September 3, it was revealed that Ice Road Truckers will return with brand new episodes this October after eight years off the air. Created, executive produced, and narrated by Thom Beers, the series debuted on the History Channel in 2007 and ran for 11 seasons until going on an indefinite hiatus in 2017.
