Weir will also engage with experts across a range of border issues, while crews will be embedded in the field with officers and special agents at key border sites.

For Lucky 8, Greg Henry, Kim Woodard, Isaac Holub, George Kralovansky, Ashley Adams, Anne Marie Gaynor and Andres Vasquez are executive producers.

Joseph Schneier, Joseph Boyle and Christina Bavetta are executive producers and Cameron Doyle is coordinating producer for Discovery.

The series will premiere on December 5, airing from 9-11pm.
