Discovery Communications has acquired the global rights to Sarah Palin's Alaska, a new eight-part documentary series. The series will be executive produced by Mark Burnett (Survivor). The series will air on TLC. A start date for the series has not yet been announced.

"Our family enjoys Discovery's networks," said Governor Sarah Palin. "I look forward to working with Mark to bring the wonder and majesty of Alaska to all Americans."

"With a dynamic personality that has captivated millions, I can't think of anyone more compelling than Sarah Palin to tell the story of Alaska," said Mark Burnett. "I'm thrilled to reunite with Discovery on this project, which brings together one of the most fascinating figures of our time with one of the most wondrous places on earth."

Sarah Palin's Alaska documentary have some unintentionally amusing moments if there are any scenes like the 2008 incident when Sarah Palin held a news conference in front of a turkey slaughterhouse.
