Alex Honnold is putting himself out there in a whole new way. Earlier this month, the Free Solo star announced not one, but two new shows coming to screens in 2026, and we are jumping out of our chairs with excitement.
As Outside reported earlier this month, the climbing icon will star in a two-hour live TV show on Netflix in 2026, during which he will scale the tallest skyscraper in Taiwan (gulp) without any safety ropes. Honnold will be buildering on a very tall building in real time, and he will do it while adhering to the risky climbing style that made him famous. According to a Netflix news release, the feat is titled Skyscraper Live and staged on Taipei 101, a 1,667-foot-tall building with 101 floors.
In an unexpected turn of events, the world-renowned rock climber is also taking viewers on a tour of his home state in Nevada, as well. In the five-part documentary series, Get a Little Out There, set to premiere across the Outside network in 2026. In partnership with Travel Nevada and Outside, Honnold will take viewers across the Sagebrush State, shifting focus from extreme climbs to everyday adventures, curiosity, and connection.
We asked Honnold for his take on these two new endeavors and what he hopes viewers will gain from this new perspective on his life and work.
OUTSIDE: You have just announced your new five-part documentary show, Get a Little Out There. What are you most excited about in sharing this part of your home state?
Alex Honnold: I’m excited about all the outdoor adventures around the state. It’s basically what I do for fun anyway. Get a Little Out There is just a more structured version. It’s super fun.
You’ve also recently announced plans to livestream a free solo on a skyscraper. How do you have the capacity to accomplish so much?
Honnold: Haha, in some ways, doing a live event actually takes less time because you just have to show up and do the thing—much simpler than making a documentary, really. But in all seriousness, these are the only two projects I’m working on this season (besides my own personal climbing goals), so it doesn’t seem like too much.
What do you hope viewers will get from your show?
Honnold: I hope people will get a glimpse of how incredible Nevada is! I live here for a reason, and I love it. I’m constantly explaining to people how great Nevada is for outdoor recreation. Hopefully, people who watch the show will gain a new appreciation for rural Nevada. I suppose it’s a bonus if it motivates people to get outside and have their own adventures.
Anything else you’d like to add?
Honnold: I really like backyard adventures, and this whole project feels like the ultimate backyard adventure—a cool trip discovering interesting places relatively near home.
