Alaskan Killer Bigfoot is an American television series on Discovery+. It premiered December 7, 2021. The series follows a team of five men: Keith Seville, Noah Craig, DJ Brewster, and Kyle McDowell as they explore Portlock, Alaska, an uninhabited town in which natives were allegedly driven from over 70 years ago by a creature called Nantinaq.
Premise
The town of Portlock, Alaska, was established in the 19th century as a cannery, particularly for salmon. However, in the 1940s, Portlock became a ghost town, as a terrifying bigfoot-like creature known as Nantinaq chased all the villagers out. Over the course of the series, a team of five men: Keith Seville, Noah Craig, DJ Brewster, and Kyle McDowell camped out around Portlock and the Port Chatham area looking for Nantinaq. During the exploration, the team is assisted by Portlock descendants Tommy Evans and Frank “Guy” Berestoff.
