NEW YORK, Oct. 25 (UPI) -- When the second U.S. season of "Iconoclasts" begins Thursday, the Sundance Channel series will offer innovators from various fields a chance to compare notes.
To launch the new season of the six-part original series, "Iconoclasts" will feature surfer Laird Hamilton and Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder in its Thursday premiere as the two innovators detail their individual creative processes, said a Sundance Channel news release.
Since being founded by film actor Robert Redford, "Iconoclasts" has featured many celebrity duos discussing their passion for their fields and will continue that tradition throughout the upcoming season.
"Each 'Iconoclasts' pairing is fascinating on so many levels," Sundance Channel President Larry Aidem said. "These individuals have made a significant impact in their respective fields, and when combined, create endless possibilities for great storytelling. We are sure that Sundance Channel viewers will find each installment entertaining and engrossing."
Featured pairings this season will include comedian Dave Chappelle and poet Maya Angelou, singer Fiona Apple and director Quentin Tarantino, along with "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels and singer Paul Simon.
