Henry Winkler to journey throughout Asia for docu-series

Henry Winkler, William Shatner, Terry Bradshaw, George Foreman and Jeff Dye have signed on to star in the travel docu-series Better Late Than Never, NBC announced.

The one-hour program is to begin production in August.

The actors, former athletes and comedian will travel to Tokyo, Kyoto, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Chang Mai, embarking on "the ultimate international excursion with no assistants, no limousines and no lattes, in search of an intimate, life-changing experience," the network said in a news release.

"The five will navigate their way through each city -- communicating with the local population, immersing themselves in local traditions and enjoying exotic food -- all the while dealing with the unexpected twists and turns that any trip presents. As they check off items on their own personal 'bucket list,' the five will rely on each other for support and encouragement and, in the process, demonstrate that friendship is the ultimate gift."
